Rebirth In Your Arms

Life and love, two forces I once believed to be separate

Now twist together like veins under my skin 

Because when you entered my world 

You became my world. 

Without your gravity I would drift, 

A man lost in his own atmosphere. 

But now with you I live,

Not just exist, really live!

You reminded me I'm not just meant to rust. 

My heart once calloused from mistreatment 

Now beats softer than it ever has for you my love

My body, once a vacant house

Now glows with the warmth of your touch

A simple kiss, a tether to reality

A reason to rebuild the ruins inside of me

My mind, once a nest of tangled threads and wires

Now finds peace with your presence, your laugh, your happiness 

Each word you speak unspools the knots,

Until my thoughts are painted with color again

My lungs, once craved smoke, and tar

Now crave the very same air you breathe

I quit the slow suicide, for you, for us

Because how could I kill the man you love?
