Homeless Love Story
You and me against the World.
Living on a prayer, for real.
I will protect you girl, from the cold,
as it ravages the breath and sends them inside.
I will protect you from hunger,
"those are your favorite, I am not very hungry anyway".
I will pretend to slip occasionally,
to make you gasp, as we walk along
to nowhere and everywhere
Nomads of society that they cannot see so clear.
I will protect you from the savages
and the opportunists.
I will protect you from the ghouls and hopelessness
that sneak overhead, black clouds like vultures,
death eaters with no preference or conscience.
I will find us a way to get back up,
where you can relax and know a better day.
She says, "you are my everything", and he knows, she means it.
Love is not homeless, it found one- sheltering from the storm.
