Thunder
A fortunate happenstance
... right time, right place
my plasma boiling from your glance
but you are not the kind to stay.
Singed from the memories
of what I thought was our home
but like the passing thunder
you made your noise and gone.
with the pain still rumbling
long after you've left
I am the beaten down warrior
broken and spent...
attempting recovery
moving on
plastic hearts
intentions wrong
loose gripped devotions
uncontrolled emotions
the best chapter in my book
the reason I'll always have to look
before I enter situations
or get anywhere near
because I'm still hearing thunder
no-one else can hear.
... right time, right place
my plasma boiling from your glance
but you are not the kind to stay.
Singed from the memories
of what I thought was our home
but like the passing thunder
you made your noise and gone.
with the pain still rumbling
long after you've left
I am the beaten down warrior
broken and spent...
attempting recovery
moving on
plastic hearts
intentions wrong
loose gripped devotions
uncontrolled emotions
the best chapter in my book
the reason I'll always have to look
before I enter situations
or get anywhere near
because I'm still hearing thunder
no-one else can hear.
