Safe

Don't speak, nothing to be said
take your clothes off, get into bed
skin like ice! wrap up your feet
in my duvet; feel my body's heat
permeate your veins, muscles starting to relax
You came for comfort; On point of collapse
You slip into the curve of my arm
I'll shield and protect you from harm
Let me kiss away your desolate tears
Let me hold you to ease your fears
Gradually your shivers subside
your pounding heart against my side
You know I don't need an explanation
of the demise of this latest flirtation
as long as you need me; here I'll stay
to fight for you; keeping foes at bay
be they bitches or cats in heels
to get to you; first with me they'll deal
our eyes meet; as they did last Spring
when we realised ours was no casual fling
after all these months still fresh
yet we both know which buttons to press
as someone special once said to me
'we love who we love - don't we'
you turn and place perfect breasts,
soft and warm, against my chest
I'm here for you; come what may
a haven from the storm; so they say
all you need is to have a little faith
and know I'll always keep you safe.
