The raging storm

The thunder is raging, I feel it deep inside,

You hurt my feelings and wounded my precious pride.

While a web of deception was building inside of you,

Masking the person that I once thought I knew.

I gave you my knowledge, experience and time,

And watched as your confidence grew & started to shine.

I gave without question, I gave from my heart,

& saw how easily you tore it all apart.

I stood in the shadows while watching you shine,

Always putting your dreams before mine.

I gave you my trust, I gave you my time,

I gave you my strength, I helped you to shine.

I gave you my all,

& saw how easily, you tore it all apart.

I gave you my trust, I gave you my time,

I gave you my strength, I helped you to shine.

I gave you my all,

& watched as you ripped it all apart.

The thunder that is roaring will soon be gone,

My storm is getting calmer as time is ticking on.

When silence arrives, you’ll count the cost

Of the bridges you burn and everything it’s cost.

As the clouds pass by and the storm fades away,

New possibilities are lighting my way.

The thunder grew quiet and I found me again,

Finding my strength through the hurt and the pain.

I bear no malice; I’m letting it go,

There’s a light deep inside me beginning to glow.

What felt like an ending became a new day,

The light that I shone onto you. Is back shining me & pulling me, a different way.

I shon my light on you

& watched as you ripped it all apart.

I wish you well, weather you rise or fall. These were all your own choices & this was your call
