Abused Shelter

In your embrace

Demons throw their weapons and run

Storms of thoughts converge in one

in one place

Where I always want to stumble upon

the hopeful glory of another rising sun

in your gorgeous face!

 

In your embrace

A serene truce begins yet so brief

Like a chemical antidepressant relief

To replace

the empty "fading-out" feeling that grieves

the subtle intermittent happiness that leaves

without a single trace!

 

In your embrace

I feed on the streams of your affection

Filling my massive holes of self-rejection

An outer space

of stardust diluted by expanding void

A paragon diamond forever destroyed

What a disgrace!

 

 

Whenever you seek and find me

Stuck in my everlasting winter

Brace your arms around me

So I can survive a bit longer

For whatever once died in me

Never made me any stronger

 

But you can never trust in me

For I will always abuse your shelter
