My heart is shrieking in fits of pain
the skies are clouded with threats of rain
sorrow abounding within my soul
the sadness within tears a hole
where lost emotions should have stayed
the darkness upon my soul has preyed
the storm is ready and the rains will fall
and the trees rise upward like a towering wall
and the winds they move with a silent hiss
against my cheeks like an icey kiss
and the leaves, they chatter loud and clear
knowing that the storm is near
waiting for the piercing cry
of a voice, that in the wind shall die
drowned in tears that muffle a voice
lying in wait, no second choice
ready to face the crushing wave
of a soul that none will save
my saddness reaching to it's edge
and I am teetering upon the ledge
ready to fall, ready to plunge
ready to dive, ready to lunge
and now the waves are growing high
reaching to the darkened sky
and the sun is fading fast
and still i know it is my last
it's sunkissed light upon me
shall no longer set me free
for the sadness shall be my end
no angel will the heavens send
to ease the pain within this heart
to give this soul another start
to teach this heart to love once more
and stand with laughter on the shore
instead i'm waiting to meet the cold
hissing waters of times of old
plummet to the ocean deep
finding silence in eternal sleep
