 “flickering lights of desire hurt after the storm”

When you called my name
In search
Of a reminder
That I am here.

Do not be afraid
My love.
I am here with you
And I will
Never
Leave.

But then you leave.
Like a flash
Of the same lighting,
That scared you before

And it is to me,
Like the storm was
To you,
Terrifying and alone
Once again

The storm may rage
But I am at peace,
Knowing that I am safe
And you are scared

Somewhere out there
You have no one
To comfort
You.
No more

Or perhaps you do.
But it is no matter
For I know that I
Can relax, while you jump
At every lighting
