Thunder and Lightning
I cover my ears
As I sit in my closet.
As the thunder echoes through
The quiet empty house
And the lightning flashes in the
Sky.
I cry as the pain full
Memories rush back.
As my heart starts
To hurt so much I
Can barley take it.
I hear the screams in my head and I touch
My scars and start to
Remember the pain.
The tears roll down my
Face as I jump at each
Sound of the storm.
As they remind me
Of the past and all of the pain.
I cry because of the pain
I felt
And the love I did not have.
In the storm
A 14 year old girl cries
In the thunder and lightning
She hears screams.
Her heart beats at the sound of
The rain
As she remembers her
Past and pain.
