"Safety Used to/Now Feels like"

Safety used to feel like fixed,
Problems resolved, 
Beaming hearts,
Innocent perspectives. 

Safety used to feel like man,
Weight lifted,
Body desired,
Lust and codependency. 

Safety used to feel like promises,
Expectations expected,
Attachment again,
Connection in small blips. 

Safety used to feel like convenience,
Easy access, 
Self abandonment,
Distress or over comfortable. 

Safety now feels like generate,
Warmth unlimited,
Current generated,
Fluidity Channelled. 

Safety now feels like help,
Resources shared,
Ways respected,
Mind open to difference. 

Safety now feels like Faith,
Hope driven,
United uniqueness,
Hearing without speaking.
Safety now feels like stay,
Stand together,
Patience imperative,
"We will work this out."
