The Storm Within

what can she say when a storm within
the depths of her heart had started to grow
the cold touches of betrayal begin to descent
in her complacency and trust so sure

the twenty years of togetherness
gone in a minute like a train crash
nothing seemed to make sense
gone now the security just love unsure
 
hubby dear so handsome so faithful
had tasted the forbidden fruit of outside love
embraced the lovemaking on a strange bed
tasted the ambrosia and varieties of excitement

now he chose to stray and play hard
indulging in once was mere fantasy
he couldn't return and shattered his world
with his wife, once beloved now a memory

her world was torn asunder
her thoughts were storms wrecking her heart
sacrifices made love rendered now all dusts
she watched him leave silently screaming

Amid the chaos she didn't drown
nor did she surrender into madness
she gathered the pieces of her around
weathered the storm summoning strength

when the storm abated and her tears dried up
her heart was healed her smile returned
she stood up and set herself free
fighting to the peak of her own destiny

she fell in love with another man
who left for the stars so far away
she cried for him and hurt again
but she always knew there would be storms

she went through storms life had for her
she emerged strong ready for destinations
that life would push for her to adventure
I am strong, a survivor of storms
