Sometimes you are lightning…

Sometimes you are lightning

A sudden flash before my eyes

Burning me with memories

And all you’ve left behind

Like clouds, you blur my sky

My life darkens under you

Mixing black and white to gray

Until nothing remains true

Like thunder, you grow louder

I keep your words inside of me

Your voice is so much stronger

Than I ever wanted it to be

Sometimes you are the rain

A gentle thought across my mind

Then flooding waves of only you

Drown everything inside

When air is alive, dancing with spark

And wind whistles through the hills

Another storm is on its way,

So I will listen, and be still

… I will listen and be still
