Stormy hearts
Lonely, alone
Helpless within these forever nights
These four walls seem to whisper out your name
Please, not another nightmare, not another storm
Only…glimpses of light
From lightening filtering through the pane
Empty sheets
Cast empty shadows on the wall
Of places where you used to be
Eyes wide open, now sleep afraid to fall
Trapped within this never ending dream
Spinning to the edge, I cling to the ledge as pebbles falling past
The fire of you still burns within, why can’t I let go, let go of the past
And silence all the screams?
So now the rain pelting… taps harder on the glass
Or is it you, your ghost knocking?
Mocking, haunting vindications of why’s I can’t seem to grasp
As I watch through the window
Lightening, highlighting the gutters that run over with the rains
I swear I see a reflection, a reflection of your face
For the first time absent of all the worldly pains
Your apparition beautiful delivers the comfort I so badly needed
And finally eases my soul full of heartaches
Of the love and life you took with you, when you traveled beyond the veil and beyond the heartbreaks
