home

I could build you a home if you let me.
I will shelter your heart in the seams of you and I,
Along the sea of my hopes that we will somehow collide.

And, while we're at it I will draw my lips on sand
So that the shore will wash them away and you'll love 
Hearing the waves because they're calling out your name.

And, even though I always wonder what must have been like
To not sleep underneath the blanket of my dreams of us,
I still believe that in my arms is where you truly belong.

Even though I'm always just a muse 
Wishing to be the prize you'll take home with pride;
Shouting to your ma that you have just won in life

While wrapping your arms around me,
Telling me I am the sun that shines in your morning,
The stars that glimmer for you every night,

The sunset and the sunrise you're always
Longing to witness in sight.
Maybe I am what you've always been looking for

And maybe you just don't know.
Maybe you have to figure it out on your own.
Maybe what you need is someone like me

Who'll trace the dots on your backbone
Without causing any damage in your skin.
But, if you want to know,

If you want to see,
Then, just let me in.
