The Storm

Sometimes I'm like a hurricane Tears falling like the rain Sometimes I'm like a flood Tears screaming all my pain The rain falls on the fire Turning it to steam Emotions like acid rain Take away the strength The strongest statues crumble Falling to the floor Sometimes my lungs give out They burn and scream for air Sometimes my heart gets sore I hear it beating in my ears An earthquake of emotion Destroys everything I've wanted Everything I've fought for Lays in a million pieces Sometimes I want to disappear Fade from your memory Sometimes you're my worst nightmare my only enemy Haunting me in my dreams Sometimes my fears take over Waves slowly pull me under I'm lost in my head again The pain and sadness grows Thoughts take me for a ride Fight, Flight, or Hide Sometimes I don't know Where the wind will blow Sometimes the scars feel fresh The biggest in my chest The bets are all on you Its been you before the rest All my chips are in My heart, it beats for you.
