Untitled

lightning crashes i fall to the floor
the thunder rolls 
the bloody scene is a gore
and my life ends at midnight's toll

i stand in the corner and watch as they take me away
my family's crying
since the day
i gave up trying

now i'm stuck in my own personal hell
watching over my ex-wife and my mother
wishing them well
as my ex-wife walks away with her new other
