A Storm Like Death

The storm swept through like any other
Though our laughter put hush to the thunder
I loved the bones of her
I only pray that we rain together

Though I could not shake that mournful sonder
That the storm would only blow colder

If all we have is what we see
Then my lungs could fail me
For I have all I need
No daylight compares to thee

As the morning came
The sky stained grey
Like a picture struck
Our lives in still frames
I was woken to discover
The sky would shake with lightning in her fingers
Over my doorstep her demeanour raven
As she cried with contempt of a crime brushed crimson
Oh the wickedness a storm like death can disguise

Was it a twist of fate?
Or an absence of God?
I held her in my arms
Though she never was the same again

I swore not on vengeance but of retribution
A God fearing boy knows to avoid such volution
But what of our family, our bones bare the chill
Of that sickening bastards maladious will

If all I have is what I see
Then my lungs could fail me
For I have all I need
No daylight compares to thee
If all I am is what they see
Then all I have is lungs to breathe
What's left to take?
Whilst the wind blows through me
