Safe

Everything is temporary
Just because you’re pretty
Don’t mean nothin’
They’ll take your freedom
Snatch your security
Throw you to the wolves

Red house true dreams
Minuscule problems
Everything melts away
In ribbons of protection
Tied around the space
Just to remind you
That you are safe and sound
In a place where you
Never knew if you were before

No looking over your back
Self expression is allowed

You can rest your head here
In my lap and know that
No one can hurt you now
No one can hurt you now
No one can hurt you now

My love is forever

Temporary

They lock in and latch on
Pretty fangs smile their way in through
Footsteps at your doorway
Drink up everything you’ve got
And then go away because they
Don’t need you anymore in that way
Scratching at my teeth that’s what’s up
Massaging the skin down to the bone
Checking for a pulse
Is there anyone home?
Knocking on the door of my heart
Is anybody there
Or did they take it all; the furniture too
You know how they do it
Find you so impulsive and beautiful
Full of creativity and certainty
Delicious and ready to drink you gone
And then they are no longer thirsty
Anymore and they disappear
Geranium dreams and nightmares
Seem to pull the trigger sink their teeth
Snap the strings hold on tight
More wanting more recovery from the bite
Where did everyone go??
Too much energy filled their cup
And off again god forbid
That they hang around for a minute
But the lesser of the two spreads wings
And finds grace to say happy
To have the opportunity to meet you
Even if it meant you couldn’t stay
Even if you meant to say..
Even if it’s time to go..
Thanks for stopping by even so
