My Haven

To my dearest love:

You promise a warmth
 that'll seep in my soul.
 I hope you realize,
 Afraid of the sun, I am
 Lost in the thunderous nights,
 Of the storm that promises
 Destruction in its sight.

 You promise of this home
 away from your arms.
 I hope you realize,
 Afraid of the world, I am
 A shadow drowning in white,
 Of the unconditional love
 That demands a sacrifice.

 How can you forbid me
 To wait for the only warmth
 and love I know
 You know (I know you do)
 You've seen what I am
 So I cling to you, 
 or the idea of,
 For your words are my moon,
 with borrowed light,
 and the calm of the sea
 I'm filled with life.

 From the bottom of my heart,
 The most sincerely forsaken person
