The Storm

From the depths I call to you 

To remind you now and then 

There was a time a storm came through 

And it seemed to never end 

The seas would rage, and crash and roar

The claps of thunder and lightning 

Broken waves on jagged shores 

The elements are angry and fighting. 

I lay awash with frozen fear

The storm is now and I'm not safe here

Awash with terror, I bleed and cry

I am alone in this truth of the night

I tried to sneak on creaking floors 

Tried not to make a sound when I hear the beast snore

The rotting ballasts, the cracks in the hall

The seeping sap, it trickles, on paper thin walls 

I need you to know, to remember back when

I need you to remember now and then

The beastly storm it lurks and loiters

It hasn't returned, its been here since then

Though years have passed, and your home is far from me

I still drop into that deep dark sea 

So deeply shackled the abyss I see

The beast is alive 

And I am lost in me
