Embrace.


His embrace feels like home when he holds me,

It feels like a lighthouse guiding those sailors on a stormy night,

It feels like young lovers confessing their love silently as they lie beneath the stars.

 

Yet why do I feel so foreign in a place known closest to me?

 

Why do I feel like his embrace is holding me captive

And im unable to breathe,

Im trapped in a labyrinth that is him.
