hold me forever.
in your arms,
I feel as if nothing
can reach me.
A barrier,
you keep out
all the smoke
and chaos when
you say,
"focus on me."
i keep my eyes
on you,
your image
reflecting back
to you.
a mirror,
my love for
you is strong
like your love
for me.
lift me up,
life me up and
carry me away
from all of the
smoke and chaos.
keep me safe.
keep me safe.
keep me safe.
keep me safe.
