as i close my eyes
and sigh
the warm breath
transverses my body
rippling
as it infuses my skin
my/soul
with
a sense of
you
--------- and i'm right
in your arms
------------safe
as i need to be
as i
--feel you
and from my heart a tear falls.
it's
descent along the plain of my
existence/my
face
symbolizes an escape
from the pain of yesterday
and the betrayal of the day before
and lies of forever
-----i'm now where i need to
be/in
your
arms/i'm
------------------home.
