Safe And Warm

It's pointless to think of turning back now there's no way to save what it
Gone there's no need to lie no need to cry and no way to stay safe and warm
The porch light was left on till morning each night tears always followed
The dawn there's no compromising it's not so surprising we lost what was
Safe and warm although I cried in my sleep somehow I felt so relieved to be
Free of pain think how excited we'll be think how delighted to see and
Breathe new life concrete dividers block the outsiders whose words we
Interpret as harm they're weapons we used and often abused to destroy what
Was safe and warm bittersweet memories of what we called love fly through
My head in a swarm I look back clench-fisted at how it got twisted so far
Away from safe and warm
