Siren Red

You are my solace
When I look around me and all I see are walls
You are gravity
My worldly sins mean nothing to you
I do not expect them to
My rainy day shoulder

The dry hand of a gentleman
Pulling me out of places I once called home
The wry smile of a mistress laying on a motel bed
The devilish skip of a piper
The dizzying dance of a fae
The endearing touch of a stranger
Soft promises, never kept
That I never cared for

Tell me lies, tell me anything
Share your victories
Hold me against a wall and ravage me
Lay me on the floor and shut mine eyes
Tomorrow is a sky away

You make me forget
I am humbled
