You Loved My Presence, Not My Pain

You loved me when I made things light,

When I brought calm into your night.

When I was easy, warm, and near,

And never asked you to appear.

 

But when I needed arms around,

You disappeared without a sound.

You loved my presence, not my pain,

My sunny days, but not my rain.

 

Now I won't stay where love is thin,

Or beg for room to break within.

The heart that only wants my glow-

Does not deserve the storms I know.
