I've found a comfort in your arms

I've never truly known before.

A place in that familiar space

between your shoulders

where I can feel the beat

of your heart

and know I'm home.

Home is not a place,

it's your embrace

and knowing I found love

in the darkest place.

I'd lost hope before you found me,

set up camp in the shadows.

You ignited every chamber of my beating heart

and lit the way to freedom.

There's a solace in your arms

that reminds me

what's lost can be found

and in you I found that hope again.
