Sitting in my cell, listening to the quiet pitter patter of the rain
Brings back all those memories that still remain.
Memories of love in the silence,
The carefree life with no violence.

The loud crack of incredibly fast lightning,
Reminds me of how fast you were gone. Oh so very frightening.
All that love that we built up for each other
Gone in a flash by my act and a kiss from another.

Listening to the constant rumble of the thunder of the storm,
Reminds me of the fight I’ve been fighting since I was born.
The fight for emotional sanctuary,
For me it was achieved but only temporary.

Listening to the appliances turn off and on,
Reminds me of my current struggle to recover from what’s long gone.
Thinking I have found love again, but finding out that I have not,
Makes me feel that I should just die and rot.

All in all
This thunderstorm reminded me of my fall.
But the sunny day right after,
Reminded me of how after tragedy comes recovery and laughter.
