Perfect Storm

 I saw a headline about a politician being the embodiment of a perfect storm. I took the phrase and turned it into a romantic kind of thing. I'm toying with changing it to first person. Not sure it will flow as well. And, oh yeah, I need to come up with the music.

She's the embodiment of a perfect storm

caused by a deluge of factors.

Things could wind up very bad, or if you're lucky very good.

Depends on how the wind is blowing.


One minute you're bracing for the worst,

The next you're hoping for the best

There's gonna be a monumental outcome,

You just hope when it happens you'll be ready.


  She's so unpredictable,

  But then again she isn't

  Just like you, hoping it will work out,

  But figuring it probably won't.


Investing time and emotion,

Waiting for an explosion.

Will the sparks build into a fire

That heats you up or burns you down?


Pessimistic, been hurt every other time,

It's hard to commit, hard to hold on.

After it ends,It's hard to move on, 

It's hard when it's familiar and unknown.


  She's so unpredictable,

  But then again she isn't

  Just like you, hoping it will work out,

  But figuring it probably won't.


You hope you'll know when to end it.

Before the potential to hurt gets too big,

You hope you'll recover quickly,

No matter who pulls the plug.


  She's so unpredictable,

  But then again she isn't

  Just like you, hoping it will work out,

  But figuring it probably won't.


Trading hope for logic,

Thinking this might be it,

So you go ahead

and gamble your heart again.
