This Side Of That Poem by La'Chelle Yount

His moods swiftly change
A storm brewing in his mind perhaps
The looks of unintentional bad
A kiss that disproves his temper
The soft words spoken to my heart
The love that overflows when he is near
With me, calmness exudes him
His troubles and world melt away
But the battle within him and his world leak
Wishing nothing but good for him
So long awaited and so deserving
Nothing perfect but the way he is
Makes up for times lost with his manner
Keeping composure only for a little while
An outburst of his inner walls comes forth
A look of something I have never seen before
Not towards me of course, but for greedy others
My wish... to stay on this side of that.
