I am a storm.
I will rip you apart
Yet leave you wanting more.

I am a tornado
Brining you into my vortex
Spitting you out with a spinning head,
And tattered body.

I am a tsunami
Spilling past the shore line,
And leaving chaos in my wake.

I am a lingering soul
Wandering past you without seeing
Begging for a greater freedom.

I am a sly fox.
Slipping in and out of your fingers,
Ready to wander this world alone.

Something about rain thrills me,
Chills me,
Makes me shiver to the core.
Sends pure ecstasy through my veins.

Something about a storm excites me,
Ignites in me,
A sense of wanting more.
Begging for an adventure to begin.

Something about the sounds calms me,
Yet alarms me.
Makes me want to race through the storm,
Laughing as I jump into its games.

Something about the smell
Portrays in me,
A delicate being,
Waiting to be born.

My bones they creak
They beg to give in
They swear to me
That this is our end.

My skin it burns
It rips and it tears
It bleeds profusely
Puddles everywhere.
It cries my name
With each passing slash
And swears to me
This is our last.

My muscles they burn
As harsh acid fills in
It pleads to give up
They need to give in.
It groans to me
Weak with despair
We must surrender or we will no longer be here.

My body it aches
It screams as we bleed.
It needs to rejuvenate,
To rest and receive.
It promises our demise
With sharp barking words,
To go on is death!

My soul it sings,
And screams all the same.
It feels all the hurt,
And it knows all of the pain.
It knows the trial is more then can bear,
But it sings because it knows we are almost there.
It whispers sweat words to the rest of my being
To go on is death, but so is just staying.
Move forward,
Go on.
See the world through a screen
Or look with your eyes,
And experience new things.

Watch it catch,
Watch it burn,
Watch the rubble smolder and smoke,
Watch the ash lift to the sky
And beckon a new hope.

Listen for the sirens
That calls in the wake
Of the piling flames,
Fueled;
It’s to late.

Watch it catch
Watch it burn
Try and put it out.
Listen to the sirens,
Listen to the shouts.

Feel the strong vibrations
As it all starts to fall.
And listen for the sirens,
They are your last call.

Watch it catch
Watch it burn
See it all fall down,
The road has ended
There is no going back now.

The other night we kissed
It was soft and warm and new.

The next night we danced to music;
To a beat I never knew.

The following night you curled around me
And let your fingers dance across my skin.

Now its all sort of hard to remember,
Which of those was a dream,
And which was real.

I never wanted to be your everything,
Let alone your one and only.
I only ever dreamt of loving you
Sweet, and kind, and fully.
I never wanted to be your whole world,
A direct slice out of your heart.
I only ever wanted you to be you
And for us to never be apart.
I never dreamt you’d love me so passionately
As only you could ever do,
And it kills a huge piece of me
Knowing I couldn’t do it too.
