Love Is Salvation

Voices screeching, fingers pointing
A cruel world made for strangers.
Blame is crushing, guilt is haunting
A prison that no one escapes.
There’s nowhere safe
For a refugee
Like you
Like me.
Loneliness is a monster
From which you cannot run.
Where you go,
It already waits.
Where you hide,
All ready, it lurks.
You are my hope
In the darkness.
I believe in love
Because of you.
Together we are
Free from sadness.
Because “you and me”
Only has room
For two.
