My grey blue eyes look for something
to grasp onto in the torrent of my emotions, but I need not look any deeper
than my love for you.
Although, I have despised you,
when you berated my name
under your breathe more than once
but I still found myself loving you again.
Your mindless antics threw me to the wind
when our love was a double-edged sword,
mingling our vigour and passion
as bitter words were spat and scored.
This burning strength of mine
was once a weapon yielded tightly
as my heart beat faster, and my thoughts were once a force to be seldom reckoned with.
Yet, when infuriated I found peace quickly,
and I finally understand why at times
I fought so hard for you,
and why I chose to make a stand.
I did not want to hurt you but,
I longed for you to see
that I wanted you to love yourself
as much as you loved me.
I did not want to hurl my words
and create a storm across an ocean,
but instead to love you as deeply
as the tides of my emotions.
