Kristen Hall Safe And Warm
it's pointless to think of turning back now there's no
way to save what it
gone there's no need to lie no need to cry and no way to
stay safe and warm
the porch light was left on till morning each night tears
always followed
the dawn there's no compromising it's not so surprising
we lost what was
safe and warm although i cried in my sleep somehow i felt
so relieved to be
free of pain think how excited we'll be think how
delighted to see and
breathe new life concrete dividers block the outsiders
whose words we
interpret as harm they're weapons we used and often
abused to destroy what
was safe and warm bittersweet memories of what we called
love fly through
my head in a swarm i look back clench-fisted at how it
got twisted so far
away from safe and warm
