Listening To My Heart - Poetry/Lyrics

Poem 38 {Lighthouse}

Sitting on this cold bed I'm alone,

And I should feel cold.

Though I don't.

Cause I know you're here.

I can feel you wrapping your arms around me,

Your blanket of warmth,

My shoulders are relaxed and I feel no weakness.

Slamming my bedroom door to escape the world of hate

The empty room should make me fill with more sorrow,

I should feel hollow as I collapse on the floor salt falling down my face.

I don't though,

 Cause I can feel you stroke my cheek

 Brushing away the pain and sending ripples through me.

Sitting stressed on my floor against my bed

I mutter under my breath

But I laugh as I feel you sit beside me on the floor

And imagine you rolling your eyes at my whine.

Bringing back the sunshine.

Curled up on my bed in the dark trying to sleep

I should feel anxious when I feel you press your lips to my eyes

Whispering to me to sleep,

 Though all I do is let my eyes close in content bathing in your touch.

As the cool breeze whips around me

I should shiver in fear but I shiver in pleasure

As I know you're near.

Oh cause I can feel you here.

I can feel your hand sit in mine as I look down in thought.

I can feel your fingers softly pull through my hair as it dries.

I can feel you laugh as I talk to myself or make a joke.

I can feel your chuckle or your beaming smile

As you watch me sing and dance around my room.

I know you roll your eyes when I look in the mirror and roll my own eyes.

I fall into pleasant dreams as you stroke my face,

Sending me to sleep as you whisper comforting words.

I feel you pick me back up.

I feel you.

I sense you.

And I love you.

You're here keeping me company and pulling me through,

You're making my thoughts and life nothing but love.

Oh I love you.

You're guiding me through it all,

You're taking my hand and leading.

You are my own lighthouse.

You are bringing me back in

And you're making me believe.

Oh cause I feel you here.

All I can think is please,

Please just keep holding on

And keep guiding me along.
