hurricane

it rained the night we met.
poured down cold, hard and fast.
as if to foreshadow the flood waters ahead.
neither of us were ready that night...
or the many that followed.
we didn't know what to expect...
both simply thinking
another one night stand.
somehow you became more.
my other half...
my teacher my friend.
we are nothing alike...
or we are exactly the same.
there are times that the pain of loving you...
the pain of needing you.
overwhelms me.
completely takes me.
i've tried to be what you need.
what you want.
just
look me in the eyes...
drink me down.
the way you've always done.
effortlessly... reading ever mannerism.
knowing ever secret i've hidden
ever lie i've told
evertime i'm broken.
the stars are yours...
the moon calls your name.
my wasted heart...
it's all
yours.
