Love Poem: The Safe Place

The Safe Place

I miss you. 

My chest is left without a ribcage. 

My heart is hanging by the last thread of who I am. 

My body is cold and blue, because I have given up on love. 

My mind is withdrawing for the drug of the safe place I thought I had. 

The place of hope, that if I could cope one more day, you would be there to help me breath again... 

What it is now, is an empty place where the memories of a dream and a vision for tomorrow, hangs in a frame upside down. 

The walls reveal the cracks of the paint showing that there was no love there, that you were the question and not my answer. 

All that I am missing is an illusion. All you were, was a forever hope of a safe place. 

You were never the safe place.
