I Of The Storm

January 2, 2017

***

If I could face them
If I could make amends
With all my shadows
I’d bow my head and welcome them

But I feel it burning
Like when the winter wind stops my breathing
Are you really going to love me when I’m gone
I fear you won’t
I fear you don’t

And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you’ll see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see

And they call me under
And I’m shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm

I am a stranger
I am an alien
Inside a structure
Are you really going to love me when I’m gone
With all my thoughts
And all my faults…
