You Are

Oceans swell in my eyes,

Threatening to flow;

You are the flood gate that holds them back



Danger knocks violently

Upon my door;

You are the lock that binds it



Cold hearts look upon me

With icy stares;

You are the blanket that keeps me warm



Darkness surrounds me,

Menacing and cruel;

You are the light that makes it cower



You are my comfort

You are my hope

You are my strength

You are my courage

You are my reassurance...



You are mine.
