Not Safe

I’m not safe with my own thoughts

Lend me yours for the night--

  So I can close my eyes

  So I can rest my mind

  So my heart can untwist itself

I’m not safe in my own bed

  Alone with the pain

  Echoes of tears

  Across the chasm of years

  Fresh on my face

I’m not safe in my own mind

  The thoughts are crowding me out

  Pushing away peace

  Recalling the chaos

  Rippling through the past

Let me breathe

 Let me release

   Just-

     Let me be

       Please.
