Safe From Home
You must feel safe cause I don’t know
where you sleep at night.
Safely tucked in sweet illusion
pretending you were right.
You’re mistake’less in forsake’ness.
Only in your dreams.
With a new twist… My replacement.
No time to cry for me.
You may be safe from my hands.
Slipped away into the night.
Safe in the fact that darkness
steals time and steals your sight.
Don’t you see it crawling towards you?
Creeping up, in your mind?
Lonely, no where to turn to
in the corner of your eye.
Can’t you hear me like a heartbeat
pound on these walls, alone?
Can’t you feel me, like a heartbreak?
Or are you safe from home?
