fear lurks in the back of my mind
even the smallest chance of
anything making me scared means
running would be the only plausible option.

have you ever wondered
at all about the way your mind works
steady on the brink of insanity.

nothing comes close to
opening up yourself to someone only
to be disregarded and told
honey
its all in your head but you, you were
never one to give me
grief over things I could not control.

only you can make me feel this safe
no one else ever has

yes there are days when I will try to run
only to hear the sound of my feet hit the ground
until then, you're my only safe and sound.
