Newfound Home

Cozy up, come near my dear

The sun has come out, it’s been a while

You will be the first, possibly the last

To know how deeply wounded my soul is

Through this life, and the ones before

I have wandered in love and loneliness

I have forgiven and nourished hatred

How long has it been that I feel so lost?

Cozy up, friend, lover, who cares

You have been here for the present seconds

And no one else believes my heart rescuable

But you simply stare into my eyes and sense

Through them all, I was in between

Myself and the world, my mind and theirs

Giving for their smiles and receiving goodbyes

I was not meant to break this many times

Cozy up, please don’t leave

I want to believe in a better tomorrow

If there is light, then I want to see it

Stay with me to the end of this eclipse.
