Warmth
------
We cozy up by the fire
You're my best friend
You've been at my side
When I've needed you most
With never a complaint
Or criticism
I feel safe 
Now that you're here
We've had good times together
Especially at the club
Times of inner peace and achievement
I've relied on you 
In my hours of darkest fear
But not like a crutch
You've augmented 
The belief that my own strength
Can get me through anything
Sleek, yet reliable
Simple, yet beautiful
Silent, yet powerful
You gleam with the knowledge
That your bullets kill only the flesh
My beautiful .36 automatic
Only men can kill the spirit
And you help me keep them away
Your metal and my mettle 
Merge as one
Your steel body draws warmth 
From my flesh
As the flames of the fire
Dance warmly
Upon your burnished surface
And my lightly oiled skin
