I won’t run
Not when the weight crushes in
not when your eyes
become locked doors
no one else dares to knock upon
I’ll stay in the storm,
let it split the sky above me,
let rain carve its rivers
through my skin
if it means you can breathe
without watching the clouds
You’re the ocean
and I am the shore
I will meet you where you crash,
or where you sigh,
never pulling you closer
than you choose to be
I am here
Not to fix you
but to walk beside you
until your shadows
learn my name
and stop trying to scare me away
I will love you
like wind through trees
patient in stillness
wild in the breeze.
Enough to lift you,
enough to release
never to break you,
only to bring peace

I won’t run
Not when the weight crushes in
not when your eyes
become locked doors
no one else dares to knock upon
I’ll stay in the storm,
let it split the sky above me,
let rain carve its rivers
through my skin
if it means you can breathe
without watching the clouds
You’re the ocean
and I am the shore
I will meet you where you crash,
or where you sigh,
never pulling you closer
than you choose to be
I am here
Not to fix you
but to walk beside you
until your shadows
learn my name
and stop trying to scare me away
I will love you
like wind through trees
patient in stillness
wild in the breeze.
Enough to lift you,
enough to release
never to break you,
only to bring peace
