I wanted to be a lake
But you made me a river
Passion gushed from my sanctuary
Earnestly flowed toward you
You were an island
But I wanted you to be a raft
I was so far gone with my mind
incapable of being tied down
My tears broke the flood gate
Forever gone with the stream
Flicker of Thoughts 
Nice lines in the contrast between a person being an island or a raft for another:
“You were an island
But I wanted you to be a raft”

Thanks for writing to my little prompt. Hope you’re unaffected by the non-poetic flooding down there.
