My lover is a fighter
The world has not been kind to him
He was raised with a fire in his belly
And a coldness behind his gleaming eyes
He fights many battles
Each night is a battle of my own
Trying to coax my warrior back into my loving arms
Come my lover, my fighter
Let me run my fingers through your velvety hair
Let your shoulders relax, the fight is over
Let your weary eyes close and let me kiss their lids
Allow me to graze my fingers over your bloodied knuckles and bruised flesh
Let me give you a heroes welcome home
I will adore each new scar on your body and love it as equally as I love your tender lips
I will welcome the pain and darkness you harbor and embrace you with my light
Dearest fighter, come back into my arms and rest your aching head on my beating heart
Hear the drumming of my love and let it be louder than the demons in your head
Wrap your arms around me and I will do the same
We will heal together
