Honestly not sure what I'm reading. I guess the storm works as a sexual innuendo, the rhymes are interestingly placed enough throughout,

When the clouds came
The rain moaned down as sheets
Severed sidewalks, filled their pleats folds in the sidewalk? The creases and cracks
Made the aspens kiss the streets rain knocked over trees?
Then licked my skin.
In the coolness of the storm
I swear you said “Come in.” so you're at his/her house?
From the cobwebs of the closet this line is too funny for the innuendo
You ducked and plucked your boots
Put them on my feet this is weird to me, because youre not dressed for the activities youre about to do, theyre kind of protecting you
Tied the laces neat.
We walked hand-in-hand down asphalt
Mined street signs for their cobalt the only thing I picture now is two young kids stealing street signs
Pressed the words into our tongues
Ignoring dust may clog our lungs dust in the rain sounds farfetched, easily clogs but then I think it's more mud
Embraced the pelting sleet.
And in the eve of greater promise
You watched me dance.
Winking at the sky
It left you in a trance
It was then that you decided
We must be horribly misguided
So you searched the merchants
For umbrellas and warm sweaters
To protect us from the weather
My titled chin thought she knew better
But if we still glide puddles together
I’ll give it a chance.
I blame this seems like where there'd be another strophe but I like it how it is.
The drunken stupor of romance
Because as the walk-signs started running running like water dripping, running like you imagine the character in a crosswalk signs attitude about crossing the street running?
And the buildings turned to towers this is ominous, are you alone or is the other person still with you? Are you still wearing their boots??
I felt the overbearing power
Of a girl singing in the shower
When the lights go out. I like this, power outages are startling
And the water runs cold.
And the songs turn into screaming screaming sounds over exaggerated.
While she’s panicking for meaning very dangerous in a shower, precariously close to slipping
Learning warmth is merely fleeting the storm was cool, so being out of it was warm?
And objects that welcome water turn to mold. I really like this mold business
Believe the lies you’re told but there are too many lies in the world for this sentence to help I think
And you’ll wince as his hands
Quickly start to fold
Around umbrella grips
That he gave you to hold
And before your eyes find anger anger cause they gave you boots and an umbrella to be warm in the cold, why didn't you go with them? Do you still have the boots???
They find emptiness and shock
So uncontrolled.
He leaves now without looking back
And while you never ask for comfort
This somehow feels like attack you had let your defenses down to to go out in the storm
And you’re unconsoled.
Perched under the parkway what is a parkway? Is that like a freeway or highway, an overpass of sorts..
Sprouting mold
And I like how you end it, but the trouble is the confusion of what just happened, how did they just leave? And why did you just stand there? Nice rhymes and rhythms throughout,
Peanut butter honey banana sandwiches
