Lighthouse

My love is like a lighthouse

Guiding ships through the darkest night

It serves as both a warning

And a shelter from the storms in or out of sight

For I twist clouds to bring the rain

Ensuring your thirst is quenched

And nothing quite compares to the beauty

Of tears from a wretched soul 

I became a poet to give voice

To the emotions that reside within

For I was never a polished gem

Or someone's muse

Just a rough stone, waiting to begin

My love is not perfect

Cause I was never taught

But they come straight from my heart

So with every verse, I hope to heal

The wounds that keep us apart

So let my love be the beacon

That guides you to safe shores

For in my arms, you'll find comfort

And love that forever endures

Will this make you stay?

Or will you lie?

Will you defy the stars?

Or will you walk away?
