Lightning

I know the punishment fits the crime,

But it hurts so much to do my time.

When you hang on every word and line

The absence of each makes my heart resign

Through my stomach, through my knees

Broken like lightning shattering trees.

I don’t know if you know what to believe

But I’ve done all I can, now I just say please.

.

For once in my life I’m left speechless,

My heart wants to yell but doesn’t know what to say.

I’ve never felt this feeling before

But today it hasn’t rested or gone away.
