This Place

There is a place so dark and sacred
A temple of shattered porcelain
A place for which you lye
A place I hold you high
Upon a pillar of golden beams of sunlight 
You dance so freely and gorgeously 
Sprinkling starlight dust onto the broken shadows
You make the darkness shine 
You make the ruins glow
You rebuild 
For here in this place, for right here in my heart you shall always lye 
Creating gorgeous harmony and delight 
Right here, in my heart, I shall keep you close
I’ll hold you tight, and bask in your summer heat
I’ll dance along in tune to you, casting the shadows away
For here in my heart, it is you who created the beauty out of my destruction
For this place is you
