Inner Storms

When the rain starts falling down
From above the graying clouds
The first raindrops don't make a sound
Then slowly become loud

I never mind if I am caught
For when shelter is not near
Because the memories they have brought
In my mind are always clear

I miss you more than I can take
To wish for clearing skies
And from this nightmare I can't wake
To see you with my eyes

Although my storm will never cease
As my tears begin to flow
The only time I am at peace
With rain, they'll never show

And thunder often is confused
With sounds of broken hearts
A lightning strike that has bruised
When love falls apart

The only way that I can cope
Is to run from inner storms
But when walking on a tightrope
I face whatever forms
