Calm Before The Storm

by Gem   Dec 23, 2006


When we met up that Friday night
The reception was less than warm
We quietly sat and watched the stars
It was the calm before the storm

I knew that something had gone wrong
What? I had no idea
Then I saw the look upon your face
And I knew the end was near

You told me things weren't working
And the love had fizzled out
I couldn't say a single word
Shock stopped me shouting out

We talked for hours through the night
The minutes went by too fast
We ended up as being friends
The worst of the storm had passed

You took my hand and pulled me close
Such sorrow in your eyes
I willed my heart to get me through
These final last goodbyes

I watched you walk away from me
It was like you didn't care
The storm had blew away my soul
And left my heart stripped bare... ©

    Great job! I like how it was all compared to a storm. I've been off for a while so I've got a lot to read!

    Well such storms are very heart breaking but the way you potray the whole situation...its just remarkable, sometimes it seems as if you are having 3 eyes and could see everything from a new angle.
