Storm Chaser

Unformed words frozen on your lips
Foreign hands fastened on your hips
Close your eyes, slip into the abyss
Of weightlessness

Tender lies whispered in your ear
Stormy skies breaking in your sneer
Lurching night guiding you to your tryst
With loneliness

You’re a storm chaser
Crave the form of the twister
Taste the rush of the hurricane
The lightning bolt, the whipping rain

The promise of a reckoning
Those angry skies are beckoning
He told you you were everything
He promised you were everything

The calm before the storm
The sirens blare, the bird-calls warn
You know those cries

You’re a storm chaser
Crave the caress of the thunder
Waves that crash, tree that flame
Rips and jolts, pleasure and pain

The promise of a thrill
That steam train sharp and shrill
He swears he loves you still
You know he wants you, hunts you until..

Carnage after the storm
Death, debris, damaged people mourn
You know those cries
You’ve cried those cries
Everyone dies
Before their time
The rainbow shines
The rainbow blinds
