The Storm In Her Eyes

A saviour’s empty comfort

Was not enough to repay her debt

He was a charlatan for a shield

A lost boy without a clue

His intentions however noble

Let his experience lead him astray

These hopes of a loyal man

Lead a lady to dismay

She had lived years long before his thoughts could even fathom

Anything this boy knew, he would soon choose forgotten

But the girl was lucky, she knew this to be true

Her true saviour had come and not a moment too soon

He had lifted the weight she had held for so long

And she received such relief as if the warmth from the sun

The love she had lost and fought to this day to recover

She tried to get from her man, not realising, it's what had lacked from her mother

Any inadequacies she had found, she projected to him

Not allowing for growth but only punishment for sin

So the moment had come to acknowledge their fate

That love has no timing or illusion of grace

Self awareness is found not by another

but by the brutal reflection of our own hidden agenda
