Ode to my Thunderstorm

I look up to see a thunderstorm

Waiting to find the reason to start sobbing

The dark clouds hover above me waiting for the right moment

The right moment to release all of its rage.

The right moment to destroy everything it touches

The only problem is that the only thing it touches is me,

So I face all the wounds that shouldn't be inflicted on just me.

The thunderstorm lurks above my head

Just waiting.

Only the sun can stop the storm,

But she's long gone.

No happiness,

Just pain and agony.

The sun never came back to save me.

She left me with no umbrella, and no protection

To decide my own fate.
