Elements

Craving attention
Digging a hole
Let it rain
Watch you drown

Bury it deep
Pound the dirt down
Forget the lies
Watch the clouds

Storms brew
Lightning strikes
Thunder pounds
Rain pours down

Remember the forgotten
Tainted tears cried
Pointless fires started
Endless starry skies

A cry in the night
Unheard voices in the dark
Pain drips down
Clouds cover the sky

Snow falls 
Blizzard of flakes
None the same
Unlike the others

Blowing wind
Burning the unknown
Pounded in the ground
Wakened is the forgotten

Tamed fire
Dancing in the wind
Shedding fury
To late to fight

Clouds hover
Rain falls
Buried in the ground
Forgotten like the others

The wind blows
Muffled screams
Whispers float
Heard in the dreams

Burn like the fire
Blow like the wind
Falling like the rain
Buried in the earth

The unforgotten 
Whispers heard
Muffled the screams
Blowing in the wind
