To Be Safe
you can fall into the
wholeness of my arms
although I have a small body,
I will bless you with angelic charms
I promise you will be safe,
whether we’re inside or outside
everything happens for a reason,
and our happiness feels right
I will protect you, in our
house and in our silence,
come out of the dark,
turn away your shyness
I tell you that you’ll be safe with
my soft voice and deep eyes
I’d do anything for you,
my vow to ride or die
to take away your hurt
and heal your wounds
all with this very
powerful word
trust,
trust,
trust;
in me, in
in our love
this time right now
seems so damn tough,
but I am here,
always by your side
to be safe in
your mind,
and soon our own
cozy studio place
to be safe, and slow
down your heart rate
when it beats at
a rapid pace
I’ll sing you to sleep,
I’ll hold you as you weep
to be safe, I’ll always
stay here for you
you will always
have me,
no matter what
we’re going through
