for once, can you believe
that your taste, your touch
your fingers don't revolt me
so many dark corners in my mind
so many memories
that threaten to eat me alive
his hands, her words
how I only feel loved
when I am hurt
but you?
you never made me feel like that
you care, you always do
for once, I am safe
and I don't panic when you touch me
and I enjoy the taste
of your lips on my skin
airing out my soul
clearing the heartache within
and you wrap your arms around me
and you kiss the side of my neck
you love me, you ground me
the weight of your arms
don't make me feel trapped
and with you, I am safe from harm
your hands on my body
doesn't make my skin crawl
and you, you really got me
tangled in this wonderful web of your love
and I will never feel scared again
and your voice will never remind me of
the nasty things he would say
and your arms will never hurt me
like how she pushed me away
so I say thank you, my darling boy
for loving me, holding me
and giving me the strength to use my voice
and I hope you know
how wonderful it is
for me to trust you deep within my bones
