Weathering Emotions

by Sherry Lynn   Jul 22, 2007


An ice storm hit today
Turned your heart cold
Unable to feel the warmth
From the love I thought we shared

Fog came rolling in
Clouding up my mind
Leaving me confused
Wondering what took place earlier today

Hurricane Paul followed close by
Just when I thought it was safe
He blew everything apart
Including my heart

Tornados touched down
Much bigger than any F5
It is officially proclaimed
I now suffer from heartache

The weather man made a mistake
He called for sunshine today
Instead the rain continues to fall
Right from my eyes drop by drop

    Unique... Sherry, you always amaze me with your writes and this one amazed me tons... I love the way you incorporated weather with lostlove and it came out brilliantly....

    Wow start.... The metaphors create the perfect atmosphere and how misunderstanding broke the relation that your love turned ignorant of the beautiful past you both shared...

    You were wonderous of the happening and confused hence and the metaphors just depicted it right.

    Just when I thought it was safe
    He blew everything apart

    I love the mention of hurricane paul here and how you thought that all will turn normal but it turned ugly later to affect you emotionally and made you disheartened eventually.

    The initial 2 lines speak more like a news but the latter 2 made me think.over the initial ones as the meaning then changed to a metaphor... It shows how you state officially declared your heart break to all.

    The weather man made a mistake
    He called for sunshine today
    Instead the rain continues to fall
    Right from my eyes drop by drop

    ^^

    What an end...!!! Your love then called for love again when you are still in the phase of lostlove and upset...

    I loved this badly and I am grateful to have read this... Keep writing Sherry... You have masterpieces to share...
