The softness will come slowly

Some days you will have no choice

But to feel it

Breaking like a thunderhead

After all day building in the humidity

You will know it as love

And some days it will seep

Into your lungs like carbon monoxide

You forget about the danger

And it corrodes you

Those days are the hardest

Because there is no warning

The softness will come back

One way or another you will let your walls down

Because you were not built to be

A fortress

In storm or silence, you will know gentleness

You will know softness and care

For better or worse, you will open your heart

Storm or silence?

That's the question, isn't it
