This place is ours
white noise paints its corners
it has spread all around
but to your arms
I'm bound.

Your stare is empty
shallow sky blue,
yet it's tempting
I'm naive to your truth.

This embrace is mine
as ever as it can be
it stirs my memories,
memories I thought I'd killed
it stirs a heart
in a house I once built. 

You feel so cold,
but I like it cold
Lifeless with a beat
human, as a matchlike heat

I can learn
to be kind
I can learn
to be meek
I can learn 
to be weak
I can forgive
our deadly sins

This place is ours
and in it you're mine,
at my reach
though I twitch
at my embrace,
my saving grace.
