In your arms. <br />So much safety <br />So much harm. <br />A paradox of it self. <br />For this warmth could cave in on me. <br />All the pleasure you bring <br />Could fall like rain <br />Inflict so much pain <br />If you only walked away <br />Given so much chance <br />This is a risky romance <br />You’re worth any hurt you could bring <br />At least to me, <br />This could all be in vain <br />Foolishy attempts to keep you here. <br />While the YOU that I fell for has already left. <br />You being the broken image of yourself <br />A shadow of what you used to be <br />I’ll hold on to you because you remind me <br />Of I guy I knew. <br />In your arms, <br />Nothing’s new. <br />I’ve been here before. <br />The feelings you had may have walked our the door <br />But it was here. <br />So much safety in the arms of a stranger. <br />A stranger I once knew. <br />Oh it’s so sad, <br />I miss you<br /><br />Tiffani Williams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-stranger-i-once-knew/
