My Premise
So close I belong,
So close I'd stay,
Even when the clouds gather,
Even when the tempest rage,
I'd still stay close,
Where else would I go to find solace?
In whose embrace would I find comfort?
Many are my troubles,
Many are my assailants,
Though I don’t wear my heart on my sleeves,
In my chamber is a sea of turmoil,
Each day I wake to face
them in varying proportions,
I'll stand by you,
Take a step as you do,
It’s safe a haven with you,
Without I'd be a shadow,
Without I'd be gone.
