Storm

Time is the black water ocean between us9

As I choke on those high minutes

My standards for you were

Impossible

As I pinned my flawed hopes

On a mortal sick in her own skin
You are the storm

The worst part is the calm

The worst part is the cold

The worst part is when you let go
In a frenzy you lit up the sky

Until we were all blind

To what you didn’t want us to see

Ice painted in shades of

Denial and apathy
You are the storm

The worst part is the calm

The worst part is the cold

The worst part is you letting go
What fools we were

Because it was never that easy

I can see through ferocity

And I never minded the rain

I can forgive the ice that slashes

And cuts
You will always be the storm
The worst part will always be the calm

The worst part will always be the cold

The worst part will always be you letting go
But see me now

Don’t look away

Because now I see that standing in the eye

Of every lost moment

And every maelstrom

Is a scared kid

Just like me
And all that time we spent with eyes closed

All that time we spent…

For who could ever love a storTime is the black water ocean between us

For who could ever love a storm?
The one that never lets go

The one that never lets go
