the Storm in my Heart

The silence of the night deepens,
Lying here, waiting for you.
The full moon shines silvery-gray,
Dulled through the cover of the clouds.
Each second the sky grows darker,
Until complete and utter darkness
Descends upon my heart.
Lightning flashes, entwined and forked in the sky,
Like the lovers we once were.
Thunder grumbles low in the background,
As if the sky itself was wronged.
Then the rain plummets in a growing torrent,
Crying for what once was,
And will never be again.
