I am your Storm

I am your Storm

I give you what I have, what I know to do.
I see your face lit up, happy and singing
of the time I've spent with you. But you
hold on in fear. You push me for more
than I can give. My heart is emptied for
you and yet you still ask more of me.

In a worried whisper to my heart you say,
"Don't run away. You are stronger than that."
And my heart aches to be loved in return.
But these words offer me duty, more tasks.

Another manipulation performed in fear
Only to keep me close. I see it plain, but
with a sigh I submit, I submit my heart. I'd
rather not fight. Not when my heart is low.

These words to be strong sap away what
desire I have to stand. Ironic. But with no
contest I yield to what you want, because
I love you, even when I am empty, I will
continue in love. Is this strength to you?

Is that what you want? A man to keep quietly
beside you, knowing he will never leave
because you have him trained so well?
I know you better, you will be miserable.
Wondering where he went, why he seems dead.
But why do you pursue this? What drives you?

Please, My Love, listen closely. You have no
need to fear. I am not leaving you. I am your
rock, Your stability. But you can not tame me.
You can not cage me. I am your Storm.
