A Lover's Storm

The winds rise,
Blowing the memory of you,
And your love to me,
I smell it on the breeze,
Like the flowers fragrance,
I breathe it in,
Feel it filling my chest,
With such pain,
Such sorrow!

How long ago,
Did you take out that glass heart,
With your fingers,
And shattered it on the ground,
Smiling all the while,
Like some proud god,
Like some evil you had swallowed,
And made you whole…

But you ripped me baby,
You cast me in stone,
Left me standing here...
All alone…
I see you in the shadows,
Like a thief who comes in the night,
And I wonder,
What you think I have left to steal...

Why come to me?
If your hate is so real?
If what I did was so bad?
I am beyond sad,
I am beyond life,
I am beyond your touch,
Your life no longer touches me,
Just lets me see,
What will never be…

I know you think you destroyed me,
How wrong you are!
My soul is stronger than you think,
And though your reptile mind,
Can’t think,
I see through you,
Know you are only pretending,
To be kind…

But,
One day soon,
You will see,
That ultimately,
The victory was mine.

The storm rises,
And I match its fury,
With that of my own,
And baby when lightening strikes,
It will not be me,
Who is alone...
