To Love

I was used to chasing the sun Gone with each new turn Like the wind wild and free Living untamed I was the sea The world at my feet not a single care In a world full of worries, I was rare The emptiness inside a mere blight For I had no equal I was like light Gone faster than a whisper Now you got me in a twister I’d rather be bound to you Than gone with sunrise like dew. Life is like a hurricane, fed on joy Without it we wither and grow coy Consumed from within yet strong without Love is like a temporary madness It erupts like an earthquake When it does, you have to make a decision To decide if your roots are so entwined That you can’t live apart. Or like a rose in winter Fade away and wither, leaving questions Memories and possibilities And nothingness, emptiness.
