Comes The Storm

Comes The Storm

I'm not going to give in

to sad endings

let me fly above them all

even if it is alone

I hold every moment intact

thought you look away from me

 

I have opened so many doors without you

closed others    changed the locks

I have walked the beach with no hand

to hold    hold me tight

 

what I want is worthless

what I want turns to dust in my hands

what I want I know better than to need

to define me    rain falls without you

comes the thunder

counting until lightening

yes I know the swift approach

light my own candle against the storm

 

I refuse you now

I have held constant for so long

even as old pictures fade

I remain    yes I

remain strong
