Storm of the Past

Rain falling, shadows stirring, echoes of the past

Lightning flickers, memories linger, shadows that last

I used to cherish the sound, the dance of the storm

The way it lit the sky, made my heart feel warm

Laughing at the thunder, snapping pictures of the night

Unaware that someday, it would bring me fright

Now I hear that thunder roll, and my heart starts to break

Colors fade from the sky, all the joy turns to ache

The rain that once soothed, now tears me apart

Every flash of lightning, a scar on my heart

I used to love the rain, I loved how it would sing

Now it’s a reminder of everything I can’t unsee

Thunder crashing, memories flashing through my mind

Lost in a storm of pain, trying to leave behind

On my old front porch, watching lightning at night

Trying to capture a moment, thinking it felt right

But now I sit alone, in my tent’s faint glow

Shaking at the echoes of a long-ago sorrow

The skies threaten again, but I dread the sound

It’s not just weather, it’s where my pain is found

The tears I cry, falling like the rain

A reflection of my scars, my silent pain

I used to love the rain, I loved how it would sing

Now it’s a reminder of everything I can’t unsee

Thunder crashing, memories flashing through my mind

Lost in a storm of pain, trying to leave behind

Can I find peace in the storm’s retreat?

Or will every thunder echo my defeat?

The past is a shadow that won’t let go

But maybe someday, I’ll let the sorrow go

So I’ll sit and wait, let the rain pour down

Hoping someday I’ll forget this clown town

Until then, I’ll face the thunder’s cry

Reminding me of the times I wanted to fly
