Rondelet- Arms

Arms to sustain
Reaching out to hold me tight
Arms to sustain
Helping to ease my pain
All I know is they feel just right
When wrapped around me at night
Arms to sustain




Rules 
The rondelet is a french form consisting of two rhymes contained in a seven line stanza. Line one is the exact same as the 3rd and 7th lines. The structure is:
line 1 - 4 syllables - A (the same as line 3 and 7)
line 2 - 8 syllables - b
line 3 - 4 syllables - A
line 4 - 8 syllables - a
line 5 - 8 syllables - b
line 6 - 8 syllables - b
line 7 - 4 syllables - A

I really need to check syllable count on this
