There was a flash of lightning, followed by snow

In a moment of silence (for myself), after a shock to the soul



With a look of disbelief, alone and numb to the cold

I knew the last moment had passed, before enduring years of sorrow



There was a crack of electric light, coming down from a darkened sky

My dreams flashed before my eyes, as they were erased from my life



There was a flash of lightning, followed by snow

'Twas just the moment of change, before years of sorrow



The shock and awe, the fright and woe

I only had one life to live, and life said no



The loss of love, has left me hollow

All bliss twists into pain, where there was joy, 

Years of grief have followed!



There was a flash of lightning, followed by snow

It struck my heart, only once... which made me want it more



The emptiness it left in me, will always need to be filled

For it will be there all the time, from now on, forever more

There was a crack of electric light, coming down from a darkened sky

My dreams flashed before my eyes, 

As they were erased from my life



There was a flash of lightning, followed by snow

'Twas just a moment of pain, before years of sorrow



The shock and awe, the fright and woe

And when I asked for a second chance, life said no
