Analysis of Thunder Eyes



Thunder in her eyes,
    cut me me down to size,
          lightning in her mind,
              she seemed to be a bit unkind.

Then she did amaze,
    when she said "you're just going through a phase".
        with all the dues I've paid,
              I've finally found the one for whom I prayed.
