Ribcage

You kept joy in this home
Stowed where only I will go
Locked safe in your ribs
So let me inside

Doubt it for years
Then give in
Come find me once again
I'm safe in your sanctuary
Our respite from all

Go, find your stride
And outpace me within months
I'm by your side

You kept joy in this home
Stowed where only I will go
Locked safe in your ribs
So let me inside

Safe in your stare
Engulfed in your flame
Your essence won't die
As long as I live

Take my body
Live in my lungs
Let every breath I take be through you

My refuge, one with the ground
Yet your strength flows through me

Strip my bitterness like sheets in the summer heat
And wash all of these wounds so clean
Does your ghost live on?
Or am I grasping at straws?

You kept joy in this home
Stowed where only I will go
Locked safe in your ribs
So let me inside
