Storm

It's a stormy life 
filled with gray clouds
with winds so strong they knock you
off your feet
You try to hold on but the force
just brings you down time and time again
It's a whirl wind of emotional devastation
The tree that once stood before me
has been up rooted
No longer does it stand with loving arms
The tears come down like pouring rain
with so much heartfelt pain
There they stay frozen as do the icicles
hanging off the rooftop
I feel the ice cold much to often
Oh how I long to feel the warmth
See your smile shine like the sun
The addiction is much like a storm
We try to rebuild but yet to get hit
with another
