Storms

I once found comfort in storms
They washed my pain away
And carried sorrow in their wind
Lifted me up, they did
Lightening strike revitalization
Thunderous chest became that of my heart
And I did not fear oncoming weather
I saw sun peek through every cloud
In every forecast beauty could be found
So I did not see the darkness looming
I should have known a tornado would come
To turn your hart into one I could not recognize
To twist my emotions and shatter pieces of me
Leave me scattered until I am misplaced
Steps that you never cared to retrace
All that we built, worthless in your eyes
Take the value of my love
And weigh it against your hate
You win
I deflate
And lay in defeat under your tornadic intensity
And feel my own getting the best of me
I crave to cleanse you from my heart
Wash this bad taste out of my mouth
I don't want your cold arms around me
Funny how I thought you'd wrapped me in warmth
No, you were just a warm front
Ice that I could never melt
Lied to me, and yourself
With intent or not, still hurts like hell
But elements of Earth absorb my emotions
The sky and I have been at one for days
See I still find comfort in storms
Just not ones that you create
I fell into winter's dome
Trusted your word that it was a fireplace
But you flew away with those wings
And I hope you land somewhere safe
I cannot get back what your storms took
So I'll just listen to wisdom of the weather
That I will emerge with strength from this mistake
And somehow some way I'll be better
