Letter

Stamped envelope mailed letter I’ll tell myself things will only get better I wait patiently on my hands and knees Awaiting your harsh reply As I take it with ease Someday maybe This is will go away and I will be Safe Beyond my own pain Safe Past this guilty domain Safe From my empty disdain These lies Set forth from you Made to paralyze I take this to my grave Stamped envelope mailed letter I sent this for hope for the better Someday maybe This is will go away and I will be Safe Beyond my own pain Safe Past this guilty domain Safe From my empty disdain So unpredictable So unstable So I fall to my knees broken down do to me as you please I have no shame No guilt Set forth a fire in my name in which forgery was built Insecure melodies Will it stop choking me? Promises mailed and sent Faith and grace were lent Will it ever go away? Make me Safe Safe from myself Safe away from you Safe from everything you never claimed to be true Make it safe Make it home
