You’re here for my love
for my smiles
When my hands are warm
When my gaze is tender
You seek my embrace relentlessly
Until… I show
The slightest hint of anger
You abandon me to the flames
You desert my hands
You run away from the thunder
You leave me to battle my demons
Fall back to your shelter.
You revel in my sunny shores
and gentle waves
But when the deep calls
You never answer
What a lonely place
My anger has become
Only showing face
after I’ve overcome
Impatiently Waiting,
rushing me
To bring out the sun
But it still feels alone
Under the light
I’m starting to grow fond of the dark
The lightening of my anger
The thunder of my fear
Learning to wield them
Like a shield and a spear
Like a force of nature
On dark nights I shall conquer
More spaces
for my daylight to hold
So forgive me
When I let your hands go
There is more for me to do
More than you’ll ever know
Maybe that’s why
I could only love you in half
Because you only half wanted me.
