You are the softness of my life
my only refuge from hurt an strife
Alone my soul aches, cold as ice
you by my side its warm an nice
as if the sun’s no more warm
the sky is cast and out to harm
the way ahead an alien stretch
finding my feet an uphill fret
all over the worlds riches abound
I'm lost when you're not around
on impulse I reach to hold you close
you are my fix my healing dose
With you gone I am bleak an queer
with you around, as blithe as a deer
alone I cower an skulk in shadows
with you by me to dance in meadows
your smile itself is home and hearth
that gives me life and its worth
you outa sight I can scarcely breathe
my thoughts then shift to floral wreaths
