A fierce destructive tornado
Twisting deeper underground
Excavating hurtful memories
Full of darkened pain
Your signature spin
Those same words and phrases
It takes more strength now
Shoveling more dirt
Only trying to fill that hole created
Like a bubbling volcano
The surface continually breaking
Ready to spill over
Fantasies so torn apart
The wreckage is unbearable
Pieces strewn over 90 miles
One broken heart lies still
Beating slowly with this earthquake's force
Shifting enough to fall in the cracks
Drowning slowly in the flood
Bloody lies and deception
The suffocation that follows
The only thing felt is the fire
Burning hatred and pain
What a disaster

My favorite part:
Drowning slowly in the flood
Bloody lies and deception
The suffocation that follows
The only thing felt is the fire
Burning hatred and pain
What a disaster
