Against the Ropes
Finding piece in chaos
My biggest turn on
Has nothing to do with flesh
When I’m sitting on a bomb
And living in a test
~
I see myself quiet
Curled up on the side of the bed
Your gentle touch helps fight it
And this is what you’ll have said
~
“Baby, you’re so awesome
You hold me up so high
Your soul is oh so handsome
I will love you until I die
~
If things are tough for you right now
I’ll tell you what I’ll do
I’ll try to explain just how
Because, honey, I adore you
~
If you need my strength
I’ll lend it all to you
If your day needs more length
Well, I’ll see what I can do
~
Tomorrow when you come home
I’ll be waiting here for you
To return the love you’ve shown
I’ll gladly wear your shoe
~
For you’ve given me all
Even when you had none to give
I want to be there to cushion your fall
Because without you I just can’t live”
~
Then, you’ll gently touch my skin
And whisper in my ear
“Honey, you’re at the bottom of your bin,
Take from mine, my dear.”
