My Cure
When I'm with you, nothing else matters.
The world revolves around us,
slowly but surely.
When we smile, the sun shines through
every existing cloud,
lighting up my life.
When we laugh, the ground roars.
I realize there's more to life
than I think.
When we hug, storms seize.
The ocean is glass,
my world relaxes.
When we kiss, peace is restored.
My demons surrender,
smiles crossing their face.
When you leave, I feel the wind.
It pushes me to
reality's edge.
Stepping back, bones full of rage.
My demons push
the wind my way.
Leaning over, about to fall.
An epiphany comes
reassuring my strength.
Trembling legs, I slowly sit back,
take a breath,
air out my mind.
Catching breath, my demons settle.
The weeping willows
whisper words of wisdom:
"You shouldn't yell, nor should you cry.
Let it be,
the wind will die.
You shouldn't cry, nor should you yell.
Life is life,
live it well."
Nowadays, I live with pride.
The wind is dead,
my demons lied.
Nowadays, my life is pure.
you calmed the storms,
you were my cure...
