My Storm My skin

You never asked me to save you

Didn't scream, didn't fall through

You just sat in your silence

Wrapped in quiet defiance

I didn't ask, I didn't try

Just stayed close, let the ache lie

Some storms don't rage or spin

They drown deep within

You never begged for a reason

You just endured every season

Wore your stillness like a shield

Let the wounds go unrevealed

But I'm the hush that held your name

The shadow soft beneath your flame

The warmth you didn't dare let in

The place where pain has always been

I won't chase your broken light

Won't pretend to make it right

But I'll sit beside your ache

Where the silence starts to break

I'll be the calm beneath your storm

The steady voice when you feel torn

Not to pull you out or mend

But to stay until the end

I won't ask you where you've been

Won't trace your hurt or sin

Just let the thunder in your chest

Rest inside my skin

Let it rise

Let it burn

Let me stay

Till you return

I'm not your cure, not what you seek

But I'm the voice when you feel weak

Not the answer, not the fight

Just the whisper in the night

When your world caves in

And you want to give in

Lay your storm

Beneath my skin
