The Storm

As the lightening rolled across the sky
My pain began to amplify
Alone I'd sit trying not to cry
Attempting to remain dignified

I use to believe it was because of the storm
That the lightening made the sorrow form
As the chaotic elements gathered and swarmed
The thunder came as if it warned.

Of days to come full of tension. 
Of ways and words never mentioned. 
A tangled up web of desention 
Mistakes made without comprehension

The ache that made my arms draw up.
The startled gasp as thunder erupts. 
The seering pain from loss was abrupt.
Thoughts and memories it would interrupt

As the storms passed and the pain withdrew
My heart ached was black and blue. 
For all the days and nights that you never knew
That the storms I weathered, I weathered because of you.
