Your shoulder becomes the gentlest refuge
A place where burdens melt into light
I rest there without apology
Knowing tenderness will lift my weight
Your presence cools the worst fire
A balm pressed into trembling hours
Even sorrow loosens its grip
Unclenching beneath your quiet grace
The world demands armor each day
Hard edges unshaken courage
Yet beside you softness returns
Like spring beneath thawing snow
To fall into your arms
Is not weakness but rebirth—
A reminder that love can feel safe
And safety can feel like home
