Human Hurricane

I hate it when I see
Your blue eyes fade to grey
And the sparkle of your smile
Starts to slowly slip away

The painful slash of memories
And cuts of times gone by,
I see the scars upon your face
Like storm clouds on the sky

Frustration pounds like thunder,
The past pours down like rain,
I see you slip under the waves
Of this human hurricane

It hurts to see you drowning
As I wait here on the beach,
Hoping for the tempest's blows
To put you in my reach

I wish that I was strong enough
To swim into the sea,
Grab your hands and pull you up, 
Back to the shore with me

But this torrent of emotion
Must calm before I can,
Oceans full of aching
Must be yours to ban

I cannot swipe the storm away,
This battle is not mine
Only you can face your demons,
I must watch from the sidelines

Oh, that God would stretch His hand
And put your heart at peace,
Cast away the clouds of pain
So that this rage would cease

For once the waters start to still
And the waves become like glass
I'll come and wrap you in my arms
To bring you home at last
