Halo

Your arms provide the comfort
                        of the place that I belong
                        I waited patiently in my mind
                        to write the perfect song
                        The notes would softly whisper
                        into your sleeping ears
                        the happiness that missed you
                        during those empty years...
                        Now the simple tune
                        that oft would bring my hope
                        creates the tie that chains you
                        to a constricting, endless rope
                        Knots around my trust
                        my hands began to fray
                        from tearing at the wounds
                        that someone did betray
                        Stronger threads are holding
                        this infinite futility in place
                        then around my neck appears
                        a halo of unbreakable faith
