A Stranger So Potent In Power
Many lives at risk
Drowned or cut
Screaming their agonies
Washing away any sound of light
Of hope
His power potent and inviting
Drawing you in with his voice
His call so alluring
So deep
You know of the dangers
Of the fates of the ones before you
Yet you follow him
You can’t help but love him
Care for him, know him
He feels like a dream
Or a friend
He feels close, like comfort
Like a hand you can hold when you’re upset
He feels so familiar
A spark in that cold night
A light in that oh-so-sudden darkness
You close your eyes
Imagining a warm embrace
Hoping to hide from him
Get away from all that power and danger
And you feel that embrace
Your body heating up in an instance
It’s warm and calm and you relax
Relax in that embrace
It feels normal
It seems to last forever
And you finally feel happy
But you open your eyes and it’s him
He who hurt you, he who looked down on you
But you still embrace him
As his power is yours, and you are his power
