The Storm

I wanted everyone to leave me alone
Thought my chance with love was through
Then one day my life would change
The day that I stumbled over you

I met you in a hail storm
On a wild and wintery night
The lightning all around us
So romantic I thought, the sight

We continued as we started
Wild, rough, rocky and free
Pushed the thoughts to the back of our head
The thoughts of how it’s really supposed to be

We ecstatically drove through the thunder
Through the wind, the rain, and the gale
Tried everything to keep it together
To keep from flying clear off of the rails

You’d give me a cyclonic headache
Confuse me with your gaze
Go away, then you came back stronger
Just got harder to navigate the maze

But I can’t do this anymore
Flying head way into the storm
Through the games, the lies and deceit
My face looking old and grey, and forlorn

The excitement has cleared away
The clouds, they’ve starting to clear
It’s not really all that fun anymore
Without the thunder, the struggle, and the tears

And all of a sudden again it’s me
Just my thoughts, my words, my routine
Just going through the motions
With not one storm cloud to be seen
