Sanctuary

Whenever you're crying, I will be the soothing air

To dry up your eyes, evaporate the tears

But, if the air is much too cold for you to bear

I'll be your comforter, wrap you inside of me

Make sure to sleep soundly, dream sweetly

While the softness surrounds you

But, if the blankets are too warm, I can be also be your

Chilly night

Stand your hairs on edge, make you feel

Like infatuation's butterflies took over

All of your senses

But, if the edge punctures you, if it cuts too deep

I may just have to heal your pain with a gentle kiss

Erasing all of your Lifetime childhood memories

People trying to drag you down, hurt you

Desert you

Abandonment is not my style

I am your homeless shelter, your sanctuary

Where no one is ever turned away

And after I kiss away the pain and cover it up

With my gauze, a soft angelic white

Cradling the wound, soaking up the blood

I will take you in my arms

And be your Mother

Friend

And Lover

Just close you eyes while I whisper softly

Fall fast asleep under my love, as vast

And eternal

As the midnight sky
