My Premise

So close I belong, 
So close I'd stay,
Even when the clouds gather,
Even when the tempest rage,
I'd still stay close,
Where else would I go to find solace?
In whose embrace would I find comfort?
Many are my troubles,
Many are my assailants,
Though I don’t wear my heart on my sleeves,
In my chamber is a sea of turmoil,
Each day I wake to face
 them in varying proportions,
I'll stand by you,
Take a step as you do,
It’s safe a haven with you,
Without I'd be a shadow,
Without I'd be gone.

Though helplessness is expressed, "Even when the clouds gather, Even when the tempest rage, I'd still stay close" - gives great necessitated reality. Beautifully written. Congratulations!
