Storm Words

Even

In the midst

Of my dark clouds

We made love

Loud

Like thunder

Rain fell down

While

Under soft white sheets

We would

Frequently meet

To exchange

This unquenchable chemistry

Despite the fact

That

We fought hard

Words far

From the sweet heat

We found ourselves in

Delving, dipping,

Dying

Softly inside me

While

Maybe

Now and then

I was weak in the war

Of my life

And I leaned

A little too hard

Too many times

And

Time again

Was the soft tick

Of the clock

On the wall

Measuring

Our breathing patterns

How then

Did we get here

Again

Push and pull

Till it hurts so bad

So that

I gotta be

Realistic

That just isn't gonna be

What I want

We tried

And failed

For so long

But I couldn't let it go

Cause

He had

He understood the pieces

That didn't fit

And I was afraid of admitting

That this was it

But it was

And love was then

A memory

Best forgotten

For now

Tucked away in that place 

Where impossible happens
