After The Flood
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I demolished my own walls,
opened the flood gates, and let you in;
they warned and admonished me from the
danger of your existence.
Yet somehow, I was still enthralled
mesmerized by the unprecedented
phenomena you brought.
I disregarded their warnings and
entered your danger zone.
My soul found solace and felt
mitigated in your arms.
I am not terrified of your tremendous storms;
I am willing to embrace your disastrous nature.
My love, I am your victim,
and it's a privilege to submerge myself
in you.
I accept the severity of the
damage that it might cause me.
I am the sufferer.
You are the love that caused
losses
terror
blood.
Still those reasons will not restrain me
from loving a catastrophe like you.
My love,
It is my responsibility to ensure at all costs
your safety and well-being
You are the flood,
and afterwards
I promise to calm you
despite what you do to me.
