King & Queen

You spoke to me today

Looking in my eyes

Playing with my hair

You told me the truth

As I stood here

Vulnerable under your gaze

There is a longing

A need

For you to hold me tight

To hold me near

While I unburden my past

From my lips 

To your ears

Arms around

Whispering 

I have you

As tears threaten to escape

Abuse

Neglect

No one wanted me near

Poison to all who breathed

I stand upon the street corner

Thumbing a ride

I need to run

I need to hide

The pain I bear

The anguish I carry

Overwhelming

Please

Let me hide

You are my King

You hold me tight

Anchor in the night

Chase away the beasts of burden

Carrying nightmares on their back

Baby 

You coo in my ear

My Queen

My Delight

Never more shall pain encompass

Never more shall tears fall

i am you King.

i am your everything

Fight the demons that crave your mind

Crave your pain

I shall gather you in my arms

Forever more

You are safe.
