The elements

I wrote these as song lyrics but i think they work well as a poem....

The blood runs dry
its a daily miracle that we survive
to be alive
is to know that life is mine

the river overflows
killing everyone around me
and i see the fear in your eyes
as you cling to the branch

the wind rushes past
sweeping you away with it
losing you is killing me inside
but life goes on and I'm sure we'll survive

the earth splits in two
and so does my head
these feelings inside me
are doing me in

the fire rages inside me
burning me up inside
scorching my organs
and bleeding me dry

the elements
are closing in
suffocating me
until i die

my spirit kicks in
as i feel the pain
making me fight, making me win

as the elements close in
see my spirit rise
making me wise, making me die
