The heart and the Storm

If only I'd known

I had a storm brewing within me

I wouldn’t have worn

My heart upon my sleeves

For daws to peck at.

Oblivious, I enjoy the rain

The droplets, the drizzle

And the zephyr.

Unfortunately, the breeze ridiculed,

The drizzle mocked

Crippling my heart

Letting loose the storm

Uprooting us, the involved.
