You have a large part of my soul
One I don't doubt is larger than my own
No, you may perhaps have me whole
But in your hands lay the spirits of fall
That have held me through countless nights
Where I lay in lies that had gotten me there
But those nights, I see what is fair:
In the dark, you juxtapose yourself right.
You keep me sane, in touch, intact
And in my darkest times with no others alight
You see a love, a light, a-last
That they scurry to find another alike.
If you're my secret, mine to keep
My dear, you hold such power over me!
Yet give some too, almost a leap
Of faith, of fear, something to rend me free.
If they say you do me such harm
Enthralling, encapsulating harm
They will come to me in alarm
Because your arms are what fell right to me.
