Waiting
Holding on to a chain link fence
While the rain pours over my head
Waiting for the lightning to strike again
Seems like the first time
was not enough
And the lesson
has yet to be learned
You strike
I feel butterflies
I yearn for your embrace
All your lies to wash away
Sometimes its not enough
to be struck by lightning
So you walk into a hurricane
I really like the ending--don't change that!
ReplyDeleteThe set-up is real nice too. But the middle part seems too short, like it's missing a few more details.
The strike is my kiss
ReplyDeletechainlink is my chest
the rain my tears as I kiss my goodbyes
yet none of this has come to pass for we have not even met.
