Storm Warning

Basically a "Don't cross me" poem.

 

I’ll tell you this once and once only

there is little on this earth I cannot live without

and even less I’d die for willingly

so never let yourself question, never doubt

there is little on this earth I cannot live without.

There are a precious few things I’d kill for

so never let yourself question, never doubt

that the ground will tremble when I roll in like a storm.

There are a precious few things I’d kill for

and they are laced in my mother’s words.

The wind alone will shatter your bones, I’m the oncoming storm.

When you’ve never seen, never heard

the wisdom laced in my mother’s words.

If you’ve never felt my love, never been dealt my pain,

when you’ve never seen, never heard

the beating of my darling’s heart and feel no shame--

If you’ve never felt my love, never been dealt my pain,

yet you threaten to burn me down, threaten to cease

the beating of my darling’s heart--her thudding refrain--

Hear me howl and drown you out. You'll have no peace.

These things I’d die for willingly.

I’ll tell you this once and once only.

You clearly state the lack of clarity in your relationships, which can be frustrating. Live in truth and true love will always be there my friend. Such a troubled heart I see as I read your words of pain and anger. I am sure your mother taught you well, and you will choose your "fights" realistically.Maybe asking is this nightmare you express really worth it? Interesting write. :-)
