The light floods my window suddenly, in the dark of the night
The rumbling sound of thunder follows the lightning
The fear in my chest causes my heart to pound, almost like it will burst free from my ribs like a bird being released from a cage
I invoke your name like it is a spell to cast away thunder and lightning
The ghosts and demons come out on nights like tonight
I am not strong enough to keep them off by myself.
