For him

you hold me close

like im your lifeline

even though

youre really mine

you wipe my tears

before they fall

and i keep you near

so they dont come at all

youre my saving grace

and miracle lover

your warm embrace

is all i need to recover

i can feel your pulse

from miles away

your heart beats close

to my breath's relay

imagine me

without my pain

you'd be able to see

through my last refrain

youre my expensive addiction

my ticket to hell

youre the beggar's prescription

and the secrets i tell

youre the beat of my heart

and the words in my mind

youre the last missing part

to my puzzling kind

youre the whispers i speak

to the ghosts all around

that sing of futures as bleak

as all get out

but youre the light at the end

of my endless tunnel

and the only way to mend

the stinging rebuttal

so stay close to me, love

for i want to live

and my concealing glove

will allow me to give

youre my favorite song

and my favorite place

youre the right to my wrongs

and the smile on my face

youre the brightest star 

and the warmest night

perfect just as you are

ready to take flight

youre my blanket as sleep

envelops my soul

keeping me out ofreach 

of the demon's keyhole

youre the flame in my heart

that keeps me strong

and the poison dart

that moves me along

so kiss me goodnight

for my mind's fast asleep

and as you hold me tight

i'll finally be at peace
