Raging Storm
Outside the rain pours down, and it mirrors the weeping
of my soul
The roll of thunder echoes inside my heart
The flash of lightning is repeated in my eyes
I am a being at storm, in tandem with nature's fury
The melancholy weather equals my sorrow
The steady downpour beats out the cadence of your
betrayal
The rage of the storm matches my fierce anger
If only the tempest inside of me would cease when the
weather cleared
But this deluge of emotion beats down upon me
mercilessly
And this storm that has consumed me will never end
