It strikes you in odd places,
And at unexpected times.
Engulfs you like a tidal wave
As heartache’s redefined.
It's bound to knock you over,
And it's sure to grind you down.
It strikes you in odd places,
It feels like you may drown.
So take shelter where you find it;
Seek refuge while you may.
(Perhaps your mind designed it,
While your heart went its own way.)
Stand strong against the onslaught,
And the swings from pole to pole.
It strikes you in odd places,
at the center of your soul.
