Through the night, the storm rages
One of misled hopes, failed quests
Breaking of dawn. Desperation let out

Deserted, broken hearted been like this for days
Just never realized what I thought was blessed
Would really doom me for life, put me in doubt

For trusting one person I was led, astray
She told me she was true promise we’d be friends
But now when time comes to be the one I need

She doesn’t answer my plea, just looks away
I thought after heat of the storm broke friends till the end
Lightning streaking across the sky makes our creed


Of friendship seem not to matter the ground cracks
Raindrops pelt anything left to the storm
Floodwaters run swift all through out the streets

A storm of pain, of what I should have seen, hurtful acts
How she said she had, but pretended to reform
Change start over I though maybe we weren’t beat


Yet, the storm goes on through the night
Nature’s fury hurls itself on us
Innocent people, living lives

Only to stop briefly, then back in spite
Returning to its terror, turn us to dust
Anybody is swept by its floodwaters, bringing demise

I was pulled in, because I thought
She was sorry, and would try to do better
Maybe I was right to listen, I could have been wrong


Our friendship to sustain is one for which we fought
Both wanted it to work, maybe it did, just not by the letter
We both tried, and still are, through the storm we still have to be strong


Through the storm, things come hard won
Our friendship was that, and strong after what we went through
Fights, and worse, backstabbing, half betrayal, false words


Even now, things are still coming undone
We may have to restore, what is breaking, retrieve anew
this year we worked to fix, yet some still bring back what were

Trying to diverge our friendship, that was done to many others, once
All this year, not succeeding, we fought back, refusing, now finally?
Are they, maybe, feels like they are, now, dividing us, tearing apart?  


Dredging back, forcing us remember, what happened, how it was
We already went through that, all the revenge, eye for an eye
Neither of us wants to make each other pay, not much but a start


Through the night, battles have been fought, some won, some lost
Fighting time, growing up, we fought the inner core of this tempest
There was always someone, trying to destroy what we made an effort to restore
When we asked them, to knock it off, we told them they better stop
Each time I learned to trust my friend again, there was a new test
I think maybe, that after all we fixed in our hearts, to heal there is more
Through the night, through the storm, during the thunder
We will hold out, at least I will try, but still it won’t be an easy fight
I think though, maybe she wasn’t telling me the truth, was I tricked


Into being her friend again, a flood of emotions, a torrent of wonder
That I may haven fallen for it, possible belief, through the night
Storming into my heart, a coldness that settles, this conflict


Has the character, flaming personality of an explosion
Bursting lights shooting up in the cold night air
Beautiful to see but a terror to be a part of

Storm water seeping in, as I fill with emotion
Of what I don’t know, of what once was there
I look through the cracks, light trickles in from above

The rain stops falling, This storm is over, just this one
It will be back, in full force, when it comes, I won’t just surrender
I will be here waiting, prepared to stand tall and fight, I won’t be outdone

Through the storm, through the night
I look ahead to what is to come
I see the present, I see a beckoning light.

I think the only reason no one's replied to this one yet is cause it's long. I do however LOVE your rhyme scheme :-) at first I didn't think there was one, but you did an amazing job rhyming the first second and third lines of every stanza and still making the point. I hope more people reply to this one, it's very clever and very good when it comes to images. Keep it up!

I just want to find my way back to you...where love is strong and feels brand new.
