brutal honesty

 
within my darkest places I can feel your soul
reaching into me
strangled love, I turn to run
your heart finds me shivering
trembling with fear

sacred art, your touch is complete
it stills my demons
and brings me back to you

loneliness of being
only you can reach me
when I get lost in the dark

you calm my soul
with words of peace
stoic, it's your quiet strength
that slays my beasts

curdled thoughts and I'm away
with patience you wait
sanctuary in smile
I am coaxed from the edge

sweet oblivion, my soul mingled with yours
beautiful spirt I appreciate your need
my sullen is black
but for you alone I shine

brutal honesty, I love you
