Shine

It's getting kinda late, babe
Why don't you come to bed?
Lie down here beside me,
And rest your weary head.
It's pitch black outside babe,
But we don't need a light--
Curl in close to me now,
And I'll keep you safe tonight.
Wrap your arms around me,
And whisper how I'm yours;
You know I'll be there always
When the world shuts its doors.
Just hold me until morning,
And I will know you're mine,
Cuz when the sun blinks out
And it's dark all around,
Our stars will always shine.
Winter's drawing close, babe,
The wind 'round me is cool,
But you keep my heart fuzzy and warm,
And keep my mind a fool.
A cold frost veils the world, babe,
It's brittle from the chill;
But what we have is something
No frostbite could ever kill
Wrap your arms around me,
And whisper how I'm yours;
You know I'll be there always
When the world shuts its doors.
Just hold me until morning,
And I will know you're mine,
Cuz when the sun blinks out
And it's dark all around,
Our stars will always
Shine through the darkness,
The bitterness around us,
The hurt that tries to pull us apart.
When you've got nowhere to go,
Always know,
You've got a place,
Oh, you've got a place in my heart
The hour's getting late, babe,
But you don't need to go--
Stay with me a while;
You're all I need to know.
Everyone's so cold, babe,
But I'm warm when I'm with you.
Love me for a lifetime,
And, hand in hand, we'll make it through
Wrap your arms around me,
And whisper how I'm yours;
You know I'll be there always
When the world shuts its doors.
Just hold me until morning,
And I will know you're mine,
Cuz when the sun blinks out
And it's dark all around,
Our stars will always
Shine

Just something i whipped up. Thoughts?

  2. SARA.
    i adore you.
    you make rhyming poetry into something adorable, sentimental, and in no way cliched--because it's yours, and it's original, and it has sara-like feeling in it. i approve. <3
