When the Cloud Lifts
Ever so gently
It floats by
As I feel it coming
I disregard
And deny
It can't be
Ever so slightly
A bit more intense
The stiff shoulder
A blurry sight as I try
Shut it out
Oh God, please no
Ever so sudden
It attacks without shame
The throb, the gnawing pain
Half my head explodes
I panic alone
At its mercy
Ever so long
It stays and taunts
Crushing the night
Down to the abyss
And in the depths
No light, so cold
Ever so often
It wrenches my soul
The gut unfolds
To alleviate
Even as I breathe, in sleep
An eternity, no end
Ever so mercifully
The cloud lifts
After forever it seems
And then a haze stays
So I wait
Til i am me again
