if she runs her fingers through my hair
will she lose the softness they have?
keep your head cradled
those words have you labeled
yet my fingers were soft from the beginning
a song for the lost they be singing
i can feel the sadness in your strands
yet you are completely safe in my hands
your curls whisper the fear and grief
but just keep breathing breaths of relief
close your eyes let the sensation overwhelm
you are safe forever in my realm
you are mine to keep safe
let me be your resting place
a place where harsh thoughts are scared to be
the place you are completely free
a place where it's safe to smile
the place where you can be your inner child
a place where sadness withers away
the place where bad thoughts are left to stray
my fingers become softer
when they run through your hair
because they don't judge your soul
all they want is your heart to become whole
you deserve peace
