The Storm
There’s a storm growing inside of me
A storm I can not explain,
It’s whirling and growing vastly
It’s going to explode my brain.
I read a book as distraction
I even watched tv,
I couldn’t do my homework
So I drank a cup of tea.
I took a pen and pencil
& tried to write a diary,
My feelings wouldn’t come out
Because my truth was briery.
My sentences refuse to flow
I hope my poem serves you well,
Was it worth cheating on me for
Well I hope you go to hell.
It’s hurtng me inside
But it's not a physical pain,
I can't decipher if its mental
But I can feel it in my veins.
Cheating didn't hurt me
As much as your deception did,
Then I found out it was with my best friend
You probably felt outdid.
And I’m angry because I love you
Even after your deviant act,
When you put yourself inside of her
Did you forget our faithful pact?
Mother Nature told me
“Girl, you’ve been cheated on,”
You doubted a woman’s intuition
& tried to make me feel wrong.
You made me sound crazy
For making such accusations,
Then you said it was an accident
But who accidently has sex?
I needed time to recuperate
I needed to get myself together,
I wrote this poem as a message
That every dark storm gets better.
There's an empty pit in my stomach
Sometimes it pains me to say,
You’re still the only one who could fill it
But this scar still wouldn’t fade away.
I don't wish you ill
Because I still love you so much,
I hope your future with her is happy
Because I have overcome this grudge.
So I forgive you for what you’ve done
Because life has to go on,
I have found peace in myself
By no longer dancing to your songs.
I finally got my dream job
Working in a law office,
I was always capable without you
But now I know to be cautious.
Thank you for your time
The memories that won’t fade,
The lessons love has taught me
& thanks for the storm you made.
I overcame my worst nightmare
This poem was my guidance,
The rain has stopped falling
Because the storm has subsided.
