They told me you were a hurricane,
But they wouldn’t tell me what class.
When I looked  at you, all I saw,
Was a gentle and perfect piece of glass.

My mind ran away with my cloud nine dreams.
I thought I was safe in your ocean,
With the sunrise in reach.
The waves became erratic and the perfect,
Illusion was shattered,
Nothing was what it seemed.

You unraveled beneath the surface,
Unleashed all your rage.
You reached up from the depth and capsized my boat,
With the perfect destructive wave.

I could hear the thunder,
See the lighting streak across the sky.
I could see all your lies and illusions,
Dance across your eyes.

I dove beneath the waves,
Trying to reach you,
And soothe your heart,
To whisper, “I love you.”
Like I have from the start.

I loved you as a hurricane.
But I loved you more as a man.
I even loved your destruction,
Even the lies you had me eating out of your hand.

But it’s time for change.
Time to say goodbye to the destruction and lies,
I want to set sail in a new boat,
And watch that sun rise.
