LIGHTNING STRIKES

Flash of light

Wrong or right

Put up a shell

Feel unwell

Fight or run

You are done

Been here before

You slam the door

Here is the pain

Falls like rain

A lightning strike

Forgot what it was like

Words said

Feel empty, dead

Feeling defeat

Seek the street

Run, exhausted

You bleed, you bled

Hurt, humiliation

Very familiar station

Wish to go away

Prefer night to day

Game over lover

Happy is never

Kick her while down

Water while drown

Unbelievable story

There is no glory

Shake your head

You leave instead

It is better that way

Better to go away

Sick to your stomach

You want to go back

But it is the end

You see a trend

Two months, maybe three

Then you flee

To the safety of you

That is what you do

You pick yourself up

Pour coffee in a cup

Follows a deep breath

Still feel like death

You pretend to be tough

That might be enough

To get you by

The day you said goodbye

A day at a time

A song, a rhyme

Self preservation

Full of abrasion
