Calm before the storm

He was the calm before the storm

For months I heard nothing, saw nothing,

And then he was the storm

Out on the sea, he swallowed my ship whole

My life as I knew it scattered and drifted away

He demanded that I do the one thing I had guarded my life against

To care

To want

To long for

I saw eternity in one moment

looking into your eyes before we said goodbye

This either ends in death or in life

Either way it would last forever
