Like glass shards.

You better be smart

You better play your best cards.

No umbrella,

It's home in it's case.

No shield to protect you.

Blood running down your face.

Screams echo

Loud as thunder.

The more it rains

The more I wonder,

Is this punishment

For all I hate?

This is surely

An unworthy fate.

I could use a boat,

It's starting to flood.

In the water,

I see blood.

The sun

Is being kept away,

Behind the clouds;

An ashy grey.

The water keeps rising,

It's up to my chin.

Nothing to hold onto.

How will I win?

The rain

continues to pour.

I feel like Rose,

Floating on the door.

Jack has drowned.

The rescue boats are gone,

It seems the sun will

Never dawn.

The rain will soon turn to snow.

Ice will burn holes

Right through

Our souls.
