tempest

 
I wept and you saw the storm of me
inside the tempest, you rode
my distance thundered
my sadness flash

you captured me there
within my sorrow
within the madness

I was beautiful in my broken time
the winds could howl
you weren't going anywhere

I saw you then
as for the first time
a man of worth who cared

big soulful eyes drank me in
I saw myself there in your gaze
a well of feeling washed over me
as a forlorn lady of pain transformed

in your arms sanctuary
within your understanding

I glow
