Safe

by J James - Pisces

She fell into me like she'd been
looking for my arms for years
so I swam through her 
streaming tears and asked
what brought her down…
she looked as if
concern was foreign to a place
where care was forgotten
and love was high treason
she looked back with no reply
and her face couldn't deny 
she'd been burned before
her dress was tattered and torn
and she sat and mourned 
the happiness that once was
a time where she smiled just because
but the time is now
and I wish I knew how 
to find that happiness 
she once held so dear
empty her needless tears
shelter her when
the ugliness of then
peers over her shoulder
be warm when her nights got colder
so being a bit bolder
I lifted her up
and looked into her eyes
petrified, I realized
she's been saving me all these years
it's scary to know someone's living my fears…
