Arms

the safest place

is in his arms

away from the world

away from myself

for once I can breathe

a full breath of air

but when he leaves

I suffocate

<p>This is so cute! I've been reading your poems for the last year and I usually don't comment but I couldn't help loving the simple, yet powerful meaning. I'm working on a peice about being in my lover's arms currently too!</p>
