Blood and Water

Always moving, Hither, Yon

Essence roils in angry skies

Churning, Raging, Savage Squall

I coalesce and take my flight

Downward, ever Downward go

Amidst the jarring Thunder's Might

Perchance upon a shaking girl,

Her lips are parted as she cries

TAKE ME GOD, TAKE ME NOW

LET YOUR LIGHTNING END MY LIFE

My never ending journey turns

Through darkened tunnels full of strife

Then I am her, and she is me,

For in her eyes, myself I see

Late that night, on into morn

and shaking on the sodden ground

She asks again, “Why should I live,

If this is all you've got to give?”

Pain, and Pain, and Endless Pain,

Forsaken,

                  lying in the rain

Then as the light hints at the sky

Through beauty of a silver mist

She takes the knife and plunges deep

into the breast once tender kissed

I am a pool of flowing red

Mingled now with bitter tears

We are from that pain released,

and take our path unto the sea

Only to begin again

and nevermore to look behind
