It is the quiet before the storm
that truly frightens my mortal soul
To break the silence I speak words of love
As my heart weeps through this gaping hole.
~~~~~~~~~
My nature is one of kindness
With never intent to harm
I reach out to find love and peace
And rejection severs my arm
~~~~~~~~~
When at first you don't succeed
Fall to your knees and beg
But deaf ears indeed can not hear
And rejection severs my leg.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Storm is gathering strength
destruction I feel is at bay
the crackling noise is maddening
the winds shredding the bales of hay
~~~~~~~~~~~~
My life is that which shreds
the bale of hay, all I hold dear
but it will take, just one small straw
to break my back I fear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't believe I'm strong enough
To weather this emotional storm
There's too much loss right now
For this fragile human form.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope quickly dissipates
when there seems to be none in sight
But I still search for peace of mind
So I may find sleep tonight
