The Storm

The thunder rumbles
breaking the silence,
as the lightning flashes
splitting the darkness.

I stand all alone
in the open meadow,
feeling ever so calm
in the midst of the storm.

As the tempest rages
every way that I turn,
the cool summer rain
cleanses me to the core.

Hours pass me by
yet feels like eternity,
then just as soon
as it began, its all over.

The rain stops falling
and the sky starts to clear,
and reveals to my eyes
the light of the dawn.

As the sun struggles
to rise o'er the mountains,
the distant peals of thunder
are all that remain.

Theres a coolness in the air
and everything is like new,
now that the storm has past
a new day can finally begin.

Forever's Goodbye

Today I'll give up on you
because holding on,
is just to hard to do.

I always thought you and I
we made a great team,
but now is the time for goodbye.

This sense of hopelessness
it all just makes me sick,
how could we have come to this?

Its hard to have the strength to move on
after all that we've been through,
but the hope I once had is gone.

I feel I've died a thousand times
and my misery is all that is real,
but still I tired to hide in the lies.

My heart lies broken and hollow
the pain that consumes me,
is greater than anyone could ever know.

So what is the point in you and me
I guess noone will ever know,
so you can just walk away and be free.
