Fold Your Arms Around Me

Haven, heaven, it's there in your arms.

Am I obsessed?

Is this more like strong hero worship?

Am I possessed

By memories of you and your love?



I think not. I know not. You are real

And, I am too.

Your embrace is the shelter I seek.

I so need you.

Fold your arms of comfort around me.



Reject the harsh world and its assumptions.

Cradle me tight.

Let your heart beat join with mine,

Double their might.

Keep your shield of safety around me.
