Storm Shelter

Haani Hashim

you just walked out?

you walked out again.
Soaked, Shaken, Shivering
the storm silently ending the season.
The walls bare, the wallpaper peeling,
I will just paint them dry once again. 

 

Devotion- Obligation- Punishment
I'll do it all anyway.
I have swords in my closets,
I'll use my hands and arms
I've worn my heart out for you
On the boardwalk of this house.
Barely alive, barely born
I've suffered through this storm.

 

you walked out, but I've stayed
and I'll stay for ever more.
