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
