I Am The Storm

My wife just left me                                  
I don't understand why, I provided her everything    
The house the car everything                                  
She walked out the door                                  
My son doesn't have time for me anymore either  
Since his mom left he hasn't called or visited          
He sent me a letter a few weeks ago              
But I think he's too busy with his family                  
My young new boss wants to change everything  
I tried showing him how to do the work  
I gave everything to that job  
And like that I was fired  
My dad's been very ill  
My mom takes care of him  
I know she wants to focus on him  
So I try not to bother them  
 
   
What happened to everyone in my life  
I gave them so much and they all abandoned me  
Leaving me with all the wreckage from the storm  
I reached into my tattered pockets and I pulled  
Out a broken mirror I found on the sidewalk  
And the letter from my son  
Dad, I hope you're doing better..We really miss you and we want you to come to your granddaughters graduation..I know you haven't seen her in over 10 years since mom left but she's 22 now and graduating with top honors..you would be so proud of her...mom and her new husband will be there and so will grandma..grandma misses you..she hasn't heard from you since right before grandpa passed..so please find time from your busy job and stop by and see everyone..love you  
 
 
I saw the date on the letter from 15 years ago  
As I folded it back up and placed it in my pocket  
I saw my reflection in the mirror  
The remnants of an old weathered man  
Tears rained down my face and I realized  
My lies hiding my addictions were the  
hurricane winds my wife felt which ultimately  
Destroyed my home and my marriage  
My drinking fueled the tsunami that cascaded  
down on my relationship with my son  
After I lost my family my rage erupted like a  
Volcano at work and I was fired  
My heart was filled with burning molten lava  
My soul became obsidian  
This blizzard left me stranded from my parents  
Isolated and alone in this world  
                 
               
I am the storm..a self destructive chaotic cyclone that caused every cataclysmic event in my life
