Salvation

In my stomach's pit is lone despair My lungs take in the sultry air. My feet, they shuffle to and fro My heart, it has no place to go. By day the boys they see me come My chest beats steady like a drum. My soul is spotted, torn, and bruised My body battered, worn, and used. Your eyes invite like fires warm You arms, my shelter from each storm. You hold me close, the sky's my home Your castle cloud is where I roam. Your hands, your touch itself will heal Your skin is where at home I feel. Your breath's the air that gives me life Your dreams I pray will call me "Wife". Your heart composes notes that bring Me worth enough that I may sing. Forever will you stay with me To have, to hold, to loveth thee?
