You hear the billowing storm way before you see it
you know the heartbreak is coming long before you feel it
And people tell you it will be kinder if you stepped away
Choose the lesser evil and let her go
for she deserves so much more
none of the drama and complications you bring with you
certainly not the emotional baggage that people have left behind
And you see it flashing right before you
And you wait…
for that last drop of rain
to quench your tired soul
because you know tomorrow is futile
And people always leave
and there is no one in this cruel
and desolate place
That will ever wish
To stay
for each of us were made wretched
Our hearts burnt beyond recognition
feigning strength over indifference
For sometimes all we have is our
SILENCE
The masked peace we carry in our hearts
The bricks that pave the road to our perdition
The walls that build the reservoir of goodbyes
and yet you look back
glance out and hope that beacon still shines
When the rest of your world falls prey
To pandemonium
And you brace yourself
losing your solitude
To the drowning thunder
And the things that go bump
in the night
