Witness to the storm

Love means sometimes

Having to say

You are sorry

Over and over again

Disappointment lives

Inside the skin already

Of one who gave everything they had

For love

Only to find it retreating

Further and further away

That is why now

I no longer

Chase love

Instead I wait upon my own soul

For in time I know

It will offer me

All the love in the world

If i just make a place

For all of these feelings

And let my thinking slide

Further and further away

You see I have learned

That love it is a wave

That rises and rises

The more the spirits churn

Our inner seas

And so I wait upon the storm

And stay as calm as I can

In the middle of it

Once I was the storm

But lately I have become instead

The witness

To the storm

Which comes

And then passes

Away
