Gewitter, Sturm (Thunderstorm)

Water falls
on the page
and taps the battered hat.
Voices rise
over the groans in the sky.
Seeking the arms
of the trees
sodden bodies huddle together
as one
shrugs into his coat
and raises his eyes to the Heavens.

Well         I'm    counting on you
I'm calling your name

•

What does Death look like?
Just look around

Ain't nothin else here
All love is fake

•

Pretending that we don't know
That we don't see!

That everything might somehow
Turn out okay

•
I'm        counting on you
To remember your faith

•

Look up!
It's a blood red sky

Don't tell me
You       Caint
Tell Truth from Lie

If you ain't fixing to live
Ya must be trying to die

•

Counting the days
Dreaming the nights

•

Might as well set the story down right

hideous reflections
pointing out our flaws
making us look drowsy
and breaking all the laws

pathetic self esteem
confidence at it's lowest
oh my dear reflection
why can't i be the prettiest?

disgusted with myself
pinching at my sides
i started skipping meals
just to slowly die

one month, two months
my body has grown frail
oh, my mirror image
how me you have failed

a.n.

He took away 13 years
From me yet
He's the one who cried

I didn't know it was wrong
I told him it was alright

And that's the night he said
He loved me
But he told me not to tell

And that's when i understood
Brothers shouldn't touch sisters
And my world collapsed and fell
