My Heart Beats For You

Old Poetry. December 2012...I think. (Inspired by Sanctuary by Alex Clare)

I will find sanctuary in your arms,

Even if they’re weak,

Even if they’re broken,

They will save me from a dream unspoken,

Not my nightmare,

No.
Leave me there.

They’re much closer to reality than I would ever know.



Create a shield between us and the rest,

Make me feel like I need not look in the shadows,
To find happiness,

To find acceptance,

Long dragged from the past,

Now worn and raggedy.



No sir, just hold me in your arms.

I shall find sanctuary on my own,
With the bruised and forlorn.


They would know.



I will find sanctuary.

In all I need to be,
All I want to be.

No. 

All I am.


Yes sir, I will find sanctuary.

So keep me in your arms,
Keep me safe from harm.



And I will find sanctuary.
