Your irises like crystal waters
swimming around your pupils.
Your skin looks like a snow canvas
but only spreads warmth.
Your hands blank and wide
tightly grips onto mine.
Your lips full and thin
are soft then firm.
Your presence is guarded
but I’m prepared to knock down your walls
because your embrace is my home;
your arms are my haven.
From the moment I saw you
I was in love
And I carried it
For so long
I tried to give it to you
But you would turn it down
Even when it looked like you wanted to accept
You wouldn’t let me know
So I carried it around
Holding it safe in my heart
Until you were ready
Until I was crippled from the hurt
Eventually I could take no more
And just as I was ready to set it free
You admitted defeat
From the moment you kissed me
I knew I was in love
I am trusting you now
With my fragile heart
Please be gentle
Don’t let it fall apart
Please keep it safe
In the haven of your arms
