Like the zap of lightning
quick and powerful
you can be stricken by love
its pain soon following
some comes quick and passes
while others stay to seep through
leaving decay in your heart
of a love gone bad
lightning may strike twice
yet i move on, away
so you'll never strike me again
i scrape the decay away
brushing away memories
yet my scattered dreams remember
the ways your lips touched mine
your arms holding me close
the first day we met
the day the tears came out
from the broken heart i received
there's something about lightning
the scary beauty in its strike
I've been stricken once
and i still lick my wounds
i watch lightning from a distance
afraid to get hit again
like that zap of lightning
quick and powerful
you can be stricken by love
its pain soon following
