I NEED A SAFE PLACE TO CALL HOME 

Don't Say You Love Me If You Plan On Hurting Or Leaving Me

Dreams I shelved yet dared to dream, maybe they really do come true 

I wished upon a trillion stars praying for a Man just like you 

When I woke, dark clouds had passed, now so far behind

Maybe I'm asleep, still dreaming, is this for real, is this Man here mine 

I've been hiding, somewhere over the rainbow, where I wouldn't be found 

So broken I quit the game, tired of being beaten down to the ground 

Let me get lost in your eyes, let our souls dance a little, familiarize

Oooh what is that? your so comforting like someone I've always known

Have the Angels heard my prayers, will you be the Man against Loves odds who defies 

A weird sensation Soul knows you well, I'm feeling drugged a little tranquilize

Escape me somewhere, the sun shines, where it's nothing but skies of blue

I'm out of comfort zone, yet surprisingly you, your love doesn't terrify 

My Souls feeling like your the one, that's come to take me home, where is home? 

Falling, allured by temptation under this mystical moonlight, could it be true  

Eye's locked tight, beautiful eyes staring, Soul gazing into mine, you roam

Your soul, my soul knows, she is excited about, I'm still trying to hide behind colours aglow 

Up high above where colours infuse my souls energy center's, safely hiding behind a magical rainbow

I know there's no such thing as coincidences, only perfectly orchestrated angelic events, I trust are right

What have my Angels in store for me, just what have they synchronized? 

You may be my destiny, who knows but God sent me you, a wonderful creation 

Is this Love, Is there such a place I'll learn to know as home, are wishes to be granted tonight

Please Angels has he integrity, is he authentic? Cause I ain't got time for those disguised 

One tender kiss upon my neck, those soft wet lips left me tingling, knows just how to excite

I sure do like these bodily sensations I'm feeling from his pleasurable flirtation 

Don't entice me, don't tempt me to eat, if I've only more harsh lessons being served

Got me eating out of his palm, gently taking my hand in his, holding firm

He whispered with warm breath upon my ear, setting my senses alight 

Ever so sensually whispering "I see I brought your soul to life" 

Part of me is running cause all of my past loves have cut me like knives 

Other part of me is singing hallelujah you finally came, you found me tonight  

Completely tranquilized he then asked me, "Please let me make you my wife?"

Will he be the one I choose to love? sincerely will he love us, changing our lives?

I've been hurt so many times in so many different ways 

All by those who tried to convince me they loved me, so love me, don't leave me ablaze

So forgive me, whilst I'm a little love struck lost in your gaze 

If I'm hesitant in accepting, allowing you inside my soul of pain, it bears broken heart

It's a little fragile, like shattered glass of window pane, from you I can, I will abstain

Trust is not an issue, I trust freely, it's just I'm altruistic, perhaps a little blind

I like to believe what you tell me you are, as true to the words you say 

But my track record has seen me burnt, my judgment wasn't always right  

I'd be a fool if I weren't to take on board all of life's harsh lessons, a high price I did pay

I am now aware that I am very rare, also that I can be naively too trusting, too kind 

It's not fair to you that I hold these very valid reservations

All because of past lovers who were not forthcoming with evil intentions

It's me offering self a little protection, from evils stealing, dimming my beautiful light 

Though laying under the mystical magic of moonlight, comforted in your warm embrace

It feels intoxicatingly wonderful, I'd even say in strong arms, maybe I found a place 

This cosmic universal energy is flowing through every cell in my body, its electrifying 

 Though my runners sit beside my bed as I've never had a place to call home

So excuse me while I deliberate as love has seen me needing to flee its toxic space 

Love lied straight to my face simultaneously whilst hurting me as it was falsifying 

I haven't been able to entrust the words in which one speaks 

As the battle scars I wear are from those who said they loved me, it's left me quiet weak 

I've never had a place to call home, somewhere to plant my feet 

As I always had to flee at any given moment when volcanos lava would excrete 

I sure would like a place for my weary soul, a place to lay my head upon to rest 

Somewhere safe, secure, not in survival running, not scary nor explosive 

I'm contemplating, pondering if that's right here upon your beating chest 

In this moment under a trillion stars your heart beating on my cheek 

Where I'm not frightened, I need comforting, trusting, not questioning ones motive

My minds uneasy cause all the rest have lied, hurt me, judging wrongly with unwarranted critique 

As our energies intertwine in cosmic energies tantalizing delight 

I think I may take a chance on you, entrusting you to be my safe 

The stars aligned, together we've merged, but I don't want you borrowed, only on loan 

If your wanting me then promise me you'll stay with me through the distance of time 

If you can honestly promise then I may just walk the line, say yes, let you make me your wife 

If you can be my Joker in shining armor, be my protector, my knight 

I wont risk being ran out of a place I should be calling home, been far too hard from rock bottom to climb

Perhaps if you can be he, then maybe just maybe, I've found a place to finally call home
