Suicidal Storm

The lightning's bright flash blinds her,
Then there's a crack of the thunderous rumble.
She trips and falls to the ground,
Once again caught up by another stumble.

She lies there all alone,
Drenched by the rain falling on the grass.
Her body trembles from the cold,
And from the deep sense this night was her last.

Now she can hear the thunder,
Before the lightning cracks.
For her life will now soon come to an end,
For it’s the strength of going on that she lacks.

A bright light engulfs the sky,
The lightning strikes with such strife.
She feels the volts flowing throughout her body,
Taking every last ounce of life.
