She has me frozen, daring to breathe This magic spell she conjures to weave Envelops me, carries me back in time To a place I could never find on my own

I am trapped, happily I am caught In this web of hers I have sought Peace, contentment, joy, life She is all or these, she my wife She my home

I couldn’t run, I couldn’t leave To try I lose the air I breathe Her sweet scent keeps my blood warm Her shelter harbors me in the storm Find me calm

Of her my greatest creations came Born of her and passed my flame As we fade, inevitable, from the earth They remain as our love’s rebirth Forever on

As I wake, she lies in our bed This love 5 years ago I wed Still perfect, still pure, angel Her face, her voice, her smell Caresses me

When I’m tired, when I’m broken She heals, nurses, until I’ve woken Starlight sparkles, her eyes alight As she carries me away this night She, my Amy
