Your shelter

15 2 2
                                    


I have become the safety in your storms

The squeaking shelter who was there all along

It's old wooden planks couldn't keep the wind out

They just witnessed your silent destruction
Slowly bending under the weight of your pain

Still you come back for the shelter I have to offer

Like the ruins of my heart could care for the one who ran into the storm

Like you know my broken beams and rusty nails

Like you have stung yourself on the thistles peeking out between floorboards

Like you know that I do

How could someone made as a shelter refuse a tornado hearted spirit like you?
