The Storm

She looks out at the blue sky, and still she can smell
the rain
She feels the cold surround her, she shivers, reliving the pain
The clouds have been building for days now, their very stench is in the
air
She knows she should take cover, at this point she doesn't care
Is that thunder she hears rumbling, or his car pulling into the drive?
She knows now she is in trouble, he expects dinner by five
She braces herself as the storm rushes through the door
She looks around in desperation, then wonders just what for?
A peaceful feeling takes over as she raises the gun to her head
Calmly she pulls the trigger, slowly she slides to the floor....dead
Now there are only blue skies and clouds of fluffy white
No one to ever hurt her, or scream at her and fight
But somewhere down below her, as another night gives way to the dawn
Other women are waking, and their storms are raging on.
