The Clouds

Babygirl,

I've lived my life under grey clouds

Raging unrelenting storms that know no mercy

Some sent by nature, others self inflicted

Each seemingly more vicious than the last

But in the midst of all chaos I find peace in you

When the past screams for me to turn my head back and look upon the pain

To relive the suffering I've already endured or that I caused

When it calls to me to replay every wrong decision or indiscretion that I've made

In you I see a future I cannot look away from

I did not ask for you

I was not looking for you

I damn sure don't deserve you

But I am, and will forever be

Thankful for you
