Dark & Stormy Night Poem by Leanna Page Markgraf

It was a dark and stormy night
the kind I like the best.
With the worst kind of outcome
putting my pain to rest.

Looking out the window
cold like my past.
The good times, laughter and tears?
Yeah, they never last.

They know I am suffering
I feel as I am about to die.
Last glimpse of the violence and tears
Oh how the angels cry!

The flashes of lightening
the thunderous roar.
I feel as if the end
is right outside the door.

I stare out the window
with nothing in sight.
Memories slowly start to fade
like the dark and stormy night.
