Through the Storm

|On heartache|

Betrayal

it penetrates the heart

punctures the soul

. . .

Sets our feet running

with no place to go

Desperate for an exit

to where

we don’t know

. . .

Searching for an out

but the only way is through

straight into the storm

raging inside of you

. . .

Drenched by pain

stumbling through shame

until the sun reappears

to lead the way

. . .

Safety

is on the other side of the storm

The long route

is our maneuvers

The short route

is plunging straight through it
