Nocturnal Thunderstorms

Bright lights illuminate the entirety of your surroundings

You wait for the consequent event

A loud roar erupts from the sky

Making you jump slightly from anticipation

As it echoes through the walls

Large droplets one at a time

Drumming the rooftop at an unrelenting pace

You shiver as the cold air enters the window standing ajar

Goosebumps creeping over your skin

Another flash followed by another roar

You cover yourself from head to toe

As your heart rate picks up

To heights above what is normal nature

You try not to make a sound escape from you

As you bundle yourself under the covers

In search of some sort of comfort

Everything would be better if you

Had those strong arms wrapped around you

The ones you so hopelessly long for
