The lightning flashes bright outside <br />Right now I feel I've lost my mind <br />I see the rain fall quickly down <br />I see it and I want to drown <br />To drown away all of my fears <br />All the sadness, all the tears <br />The thunder rolls through midnight skies <br />I want to take back all the lies <br />The lies he told me haunt me now <br />Looking back I can't see how <br />How could I have been so blind <br />There must be something more to find <br />Another love who can understand <br />How I feel, still in love, yet mad <br />No matter how hard I try I can't forget <br />What I gave to him, there's no more to give <br />He got it all and then he left <br />But my heart he too easily kept <br />I know I should have taken it back <br />Yet he still has it and now I lack <br />I lack the heart that I once had <br />I can't find a new love, for I will be sad <br />Sad that I have nothing for him <br />For it was all given to another on whim <br />So for now I'll watch the lightning outside <br />And feel like I have lost my mind<br /><br />Lacey UnKnown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-storm-36/
