Through The Storm & Back Again

So I'm sitting on the floor, starring outside ..

It's raining cats & dogs.

naw wayyy bigger;

elephants & gorillas!

fck, I'm tripping hard.

But really though, the storm itself

in soooo many ways reminds me of you & I.

We've been through too many of storms just like this;

all the times when we abused & misused each other,

the lies & betrayal,

the heartaches & heartbreaks.

Sometimes the storm was just too much for us to bear

& we sought out shelter in the hearts of others.

But just like the storm I'm watching right now,

ours eventually let up & passed on through;

the rain began to lighten up,

thunder stopped pounding as hard,

& lightening no longer struck throughout the sky.

When we thought the storm would never let up

we kept hope & believed that the sun would come out;

& for that reason, I know our love can outlast this storm ..
