I love you and I need you, even though I may at times have made you tear your hair! I set myself apart, but even so Your presence and your love are always there. You are my jail cell and ten-ton door That keeps me from just being who I am. And so I pound the walls and go to war, Ramming all the rules that I can ram. Yet though I must rebel, all the while I know your love's the ground on which I stand. I wait upon the flash of your proud smile And twist inside at every reprimand. I'm sorry for the times I've caused you pain; After these brief storms, love will remain. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
