Your Way

By Dommi

You have a way of making me
feel something when I'm numb
a way of making me feel at home
when so far from it I have come

You have a touch that makes me stir
makes me quiver, tremble, shake,
awakens me, subdues my whole
building waves to divine breaks

You have a way of calming me
when the beast within comes out
When I curse the very breath I take
when my heart is filled with doubt

It's a way you have of helping me
understand where I went wrong
Taking my hand and shaking your head
when I repeat paths I've walked

It's the way I'll always need you
to know when I'm not me
The way that you're my soul mate, love,
and best friend eternally.
