Throw my love around your shoulders
Throw my love around your shoulders
And let its warmth seep through your skin
Down to your bones and
Into your marrow and
Let it fortify you
Let my love into your bloodstream
To pulse through your veins
And flow to every extremity
Let my love be the metronome
That keeps your steady beat
As you keep mine.
Because your love-
Your love is supernatural and superheroic
It gives me spidey sense
And adamantium claws
Your love stands me up and takes the weight
Your love is the force field that deflects
Those slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
That have plagued man since the first folio
And it’s the artillery that fires right back
The arrows piercing dark demon hearts
Your love empowers and embraces me
Makes me lighter and brighter
And so I want to share just a fraction of that feeling with you
So, throw my love around your shoulders
And let the warmth come through.
