Against The Storm

Darling, you are like a beautiful disaster.
You go on full speed ahead like a tornado.
You are not like the decay

That rots away. You have this glow
To you that never truly goes away.
I wish you would know

Your true potential. You have a magical sway
That has everybody under a trance.
You make us all want to stay.

You and I are in this endless dance
When neither one of us is willing to cave in.
I am willing to give this a chance

Only if you are ready for this dark ink
To settle in. It is starting to become permanent.
You are suddenly becoming too hard to ignore.

Baby, you could never become nonexistent.
I will remember you for a long time, even
After you blow on through. This is no stunt

To keep you around. Chasing and making me run
After you is useless. I know that you will
Not be coming back and then the sun

Will be gone. I could never get my full fill
Of you even if I tried. I am drawn to you.
Even when you will spill

Over I will try to catch you. I cannot undo
This hold you have over me. That I cannot
Change, but I do have the power to spew

The truth because it is all I got
When it comes down to us. You want to be free.
I know that you are afraid of this tangled knot

That has become apart of you and me.
You never wanted to stay long or linger.
You always wanted to flee

And run away. I do not know what is to come after
You, but I do not want to figure that out yet.
I am not done exploring you and finding the answer.

One thing I know is that I am never going to bet
Against you and the storm ever again.
I know there some reason why you and I met.

Nothing is ever a perfect score or a ten.
Nothing is ever set in stone with a pen.
