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
