Ambivalent Heart
I want you, but I hate you
I need you, yet I loathe you
I love you ... ?
I loved you
Why did my happiness drown in sorrow and pain?
When did my sunshine fade behind your rain?
I open an umbrella;
You give the lantern a flame
These simple pleasures are just a passing gift -
A calm betwixt the storms that set us again adrift
Anger, words, threats ...
I am pushed closer to the cliff
Will you catch me? For I know I'll fall
(It is my only path while under your thrall)
Or shall I tumble away
Cradle and all?
Tame your mind, open your heart, if you dare
I'm wanting, needing, praying to be pulled into your arms' care
Is it possible for us
To finally find each other there?
