A Lonely Storm

When it’s dark and it’s weary
And the thunder sounds so scary
I think about your smile, it illuminates, illuminates my way
Turning this murky view into a bright, a bright and shiny day
The day that you left me, all I could do was cry
But since that’s all done, all I ask is why?
You had everything not a care, a care or a heavy sigh
Everyday we watched as raindrops fell, fell from the sky
Is life so bad, that you had to cut and bleed?
Why couldn’t you tell me you were in need
To talk or to listen, listen to every sound from you
Were you here you’d tell me, tell me what to do
And now that you’re dead, I don’t know what to do
What went wrong I wonder, was our love ever true
I know it was everything, everything we ever asked
Now that I think about, about everything in our past
You said you’d never leave, always by my side
I really believed you; I had no need to ever hide
Your eyes were the ocean, the ocean I sailed upon
Your heart the ship that kept me, kept me going on
Cause I knew you’d be there, to keep me safe and happy
And now you're dead… why the hell is life so crappy?
I know that you loved me, loved me and cared
That I was happy, happy and never scared.
This knowledge I have will alleviate, alleviate the pain
Of not having you by me, as I slowly walk through the rain.
