Chapter 3: "The Storm"

Love Left Me, But I StayedWords: 495

Your eyes were storms,

Wild and unrelenting,

Pulling me into the chaos,

I swore I could tame.

You kissed me like a secret,

Too heavy to carry alone.

And I loved you like a fool,

Unaware that every spark

Was burning me whole.

There is something about the way they looked at me—like I was both their refuge and their undoing. I wanted to hold  their chaos, to calm the storm, but I didn't see how it would destroy me in the process.

Passion has a way of blinding us, doesn't it?
