Pyrophobia

Give me bricks

I'd rather build a wall

Than ever walk with someone

Who will leave these halls

And watch from afar

When I fall.

"Better to have loved and lost"

But that's not true

You can never miss

What you never knew

Never loose what didn't

Belong to you.

You can't burn

When there is no flame

And afraid of fire

We cried ourselves a hurricane

Drowning in the tears

Of who we never became.

Alone.

In that moment our life changed.

we were left desolate,

utterly alone.

The weather outside cried with us,

the heavens opening up,

showing their true power

Now our 3 became 2,

we were by ourselves,

while our world fell apart

A moment more was all we wanted,

but even that was ripped from us,

like the wind battering houses outside,

The world must hate us now,

they left us alone, while we fell apart

in the middle of a hurricane.

When Truth Takes You Out In The Cold

We floated

on pillowy clouds of bliss,

until truth

brought us tears

like the rain.

And we cried ourselves

a hurricane,

still,

the winds never swept up

the pain.

We were our own flood

We cried ourselves a hurricane

We laughed away the rain

We loved ourselves a sunny day

We drizzled out the pain

You're smile itself is a rainbow

When you frowned the blizzards came

You and I were a thunderstorm

That left as quickly as it came

You live, still, in my mind

Your tornado left debris

The love we made was volcanic

Even though the ash kept us hard to breathe

You loved me for a season

Our pressures were high and low

The monsoon that is you eased up

And took with it our hope

Now when I watch the weather

Im reminded all of you

Your beautiful fury caused a landslide for me

And now you're someone else's typhoon

Phoenix

We cried ourselves a hurricane...

They left us in the ash

We told them we loved them...

Then they broke are hearts

We showed that we are broken...

They laughed and knocked us down

We called out for help...

They Acted like they didn't hear a sound

We finally broke down enough...

That's when they pretend they care

We tell them that we can't go on...

They tell us one more day

We fight our way to victory...

They tell us that we're freaks

We throw our masks down on the ground, and crush them with our heels...

They scream in pain and tell us stop

We laugh and walk away...

The masks that held us down our done, we have finally won

Yes we cried ourselves a huricane, but we made it through the storm.

They thought we would be burned in the ashes, but a phoenix was born...

An Island

We cried ourselves a hurricane

a storm of vague emotion

the pain confused alone

that’s it isn’t it

the feeling

alone

are we?

sure feels like it

i explode in my storm

the eye nonexistent

forever spinning soaking wet

wind pushing and pulling

ripping my skin my emotion

out from my chest but

doesn’t everyone feel this way

the same stories over and over

the storm of vague emotion

the pain confused alone

some say each person’s an island

so work to build bridges

everyone has cried themself a hurricane

one would think that together

we would only destroy ourselves

but somehow

somehow

together we don’t need the storm

Visiting Hours

"Don't ask me how I am." she pleaded

Nodding we gave what she needed:

Reminiscence on the past;

On things that were too good to last.

Through the laughter born of pain

We cried ourselves a hurricane.

The cat, the ship, the welcome ghost,

Beeswax candles, apple toast,

Tricks and bricks and misty mountains

Jumbled in our memory fountains

'Till we had no more to say.

Contentedly she slipped away.

Then silent, whistful, one by one,

We walked away from all she'd done

Vowing to repeat her feat:

How one so old could be so sweet.

Goodbyes

When summer was swept away,

we said our forever goodbyes.

Clinging to the memories,

we cried ourselves a hurricane.

What’s left in a wreck

We cried ourselves a hurricane

Everyone in a room full of regrets

With all the things we could have done

Our tornadoes swept

The room suddenly filled to the brim

With floods that no one could tame

We all knew our tears caused it

All of us were to blame

And from the room

A tsunami came to drag you away

It drowned us all in the process

Oh how I remember that fateful day

The wreckage of the storm

Left pieces of you behind

After all you were only nine

When the storm hit with it’s final wave

It took you away from us

And we are drowning in our own storm

I loves you sis and I’m sorry

But we cried ourselves a hurricane

The day that the winds hit

And took your breath away

With no more willingness to live

You flew from our grip

Out of our reach

Until we meet again one day

Souls of the sea

We cried ourselves a hurricane,

'Cause we lost you in the tsunami.

We didn't understand the pain,

But knew our days will never be sunny...

...Can you hear the sobs of the twins? Their father was a sailor.

I've got my Daddy at home.

They have pure valour.
