safe & sound

you are the breath in my lungs,

the air beneath my wings.

but now it’s like we’re speaking in tongues,

and grasping at strings.

you are the only thing that’s on my mind,

i’ve lost myself within you.

without you i feel as though i’m blind,

how can it be that we’re through ?

it breaks me that you no longer want me around,

your arms were my only safe place.

have i shut down ?

i feel like such a disgrace.

one day i thought i would be in a wedding gown,

but now i’ve lost all face.

will i ever be safe and sound ?

returning to your embrace.
