You are the Storm


You are the wind

which batters the trees

hitting harder and harder

while I fall with ease

 

You are the thunder

which shatters the silence

screaming louder and louder

destroyed my defense

 

You are the rain

which clings to the skin

falling faster and faster

quelling light within

 

You are the lightning

which strikes the spark

growing madder and madder

while adding more marks

 

I am the one

which bears the storm

taking more and more

to suffer only scorn
