The Storm

Folder: 
Old Poems

I'm hurting myself I know
but it's not you I'm thinking of
there's only one hand I'm reaching for
one hope to lift me from the floor

I carved his name into my hand
so then you would understand
there is no way to separate us
our souls once shared a promise

So punish me, punish me
break my bones and bury me
feel my pain but show no mercy
punish me, punish me

A blissful calm after the storm
I'm in a place I don't belong
things will never be the same
and I have no-one else to blame

I'm trying to remember the tears
that could find no other way
my soul is close to breaking
for redemption I am begging

so punish me, punish me
break my bones and bury me
feel my pain but show no mercy
punish me, punish me

keep on loving me
