she knows why the sound
of rain lives in every
heartbeat, in all the joy
of a sunny day and every
tear cried over lies told
in the name of love

it's no secret that my heart
cannot hide from her thunder
I've run to the heavens, crawled
in the gutters and dove to the
deepest depths of my mind

only to find
there's nowhere to run
she is the storm
she is beautiful
