Lightning doesn't scare me anymore (a song)

Lightning - by Aithinne Garrity

Your light once bright, now 

shadow's art 

Lightning flashed, tore my 

world apart 

Your fury, electric, cruel and wild 

Eclipsed the fears of a frightened 

child.

Crushed your gentle soul inside

My Ranger lost to darker tides

A path of thorns, a mind that hides

Lightning doesn't scare me 

anymore 

Because you do 

The chaos inside the man I knew.

Standing in the doorway, storm splits the sky

Thunder speaks what I deny

You're behind me, and I start to shake

Not from storms, but the bonds that break

Your eyes are storms I cannot read

Thunder rolls where love should be

All that's left is shadow's wake

In the darkness of your face

My Ranger lost to darker tides

A path of thorns, a mind that hides

Lightning doesn't scare me 

anymore 

Because you do

The chaos inside the man I knew.

Our vows promised shelter in the rain

Now I'd brave the tempest to ease your pain

Fear all around me, in our home

My love, my fallen Strider, I stand alone

Our home echoes with your rage

Each flash reveals what we’ve become

Two strangers speaking love's last name

My Ranger lost to darker tides

A path of thorns, a mind that hides

Lightning doesn't scare me 

anymore 

Because you do 

The chaos inside the man I knew.

Each flash reveals the painful truth

A steadfast heart now turned to stone

I scream at night for what's been drawn

Into the shadows before the dawn

The bane within you grows so deep

No light can touch where darkness creeps

I search the clouds for signs of grace

But find only despair in its place

My Ranger lost to darker tides

A path of thorns, a mind that hides

Lightning doesn't scare me 

anymore 

Because you do

The chaos inside the man I knew.

Through the tempest, through the night

I'll face the gale, crashing all around

Your precious mind, your darkened sight

Your love for me, now left for dead
