There You Are

When the nights are cold And my soul seems broken When the fire inside needs care And I don’t have any more wood There you are to tend to my flame To heat my world When sadness takes precedent And the subsequent storm approaches As the rain pounds my head And the thunder shakes my convictions There you are to give me shelter Wrapping your heart around mine When I am laid bare And my scars are on display As I cringe at each one Frightened they are my undoing There you are, tracing with your hands Accepting every wound My imperfections My mistakes Each blemish and cut I am not perfect But you love me like I am And when you stumble And worry you aren’t enough When your light dims And the thunder rolls There I will be forever Holding you just as you held me
