Refuge I take in you
To shield me from the rain
To protect me from the storm
So that I will never be cold again
*
Support I am given
By the pillars of your comfort
And without it – like the building
I would crumble to be dirt
*
Enclosed I am at times
Bound by your distinct walls
The window was my only freedom
To hear the bird calls
*
A choice you gave me
To stay together or to leave
But like a door without a handle
It was impossible to be free
*
I was confused about it all
What this love actually meant
Did your roof over my head -
Really cost a lot rent?
*
Honestly, I think I was scared
Of winding up unloved and alone
So now in your arms
I pretend I am home…
