Aftermath of You

as I woke up at 2:58 AM

in my bedroom alone

I heard the booming company of thunder

and the rolling of rain off my window

I loved the storm

despite how cold it would be

but then it reminded me of you

the storm inside of you

a hurricane

destructive and merciless

the rain washing everything away

and floods of water

the tears you leave behind

the eye of the storm

is you, yourself, Devil

and it's calm and beautiful

tragically beautiful

because it does not last long enough

to recite lines worthy of it

the winds that whip everything away

stripping everything down

until it's rubble to be washed away

those winds

baby, that's your now present absence

cold, violent and destructive

how I love every part

in the destruction I found peace

I love the storm

and my most favoured part

no matter how much I hated it's length

was the eye of you

I fell in love with it

I fell in love with you

for everything you are

because for once I met someone

who was destructive but brought harmony

to another storm

it is time to be treasured

that I spent with you

I'm better off knowing you

than I would've been not knowing

that such a person existed

as I woke up at 2:58 AM

in my bedroom alone

I heard the booming company of thunder

and the rolling of rain off my window

I realised I would never be rid of you

whether it's a curse

or I learn to play with my demons
