Comfort

Hey my love

I haven't seen you in a while 

I see you're growing up 

Into the light that I see inside 

I see your bruised knuckles and spindly hands

twisting around the cap

from the stacks of blues and blacks

All for some facility

of life and what it could be 

Yet here I stand.

Blood stained and sun kissed.

Deep browns and amber lips.

Raven hair and jaw unclenched,

hands clasped in front of my back.

Don't promise love,

for it is not yours to give.

You were my creation,

but will you be my damnation?

In my blood there is song

That strums through my veins all year long.

Been waiting for you to hear it

since I was born. 

So lay your head on my chest 

Take comfort in me 

Let my fingers run through your hair 

like wind through the fields

Don't hold your breath 

Let it flow like light through the forest seams
Take comfort in me
And let the sobs rack your body
For you are alive
