safety i longed for in every face 

i meet and hope to stay!

safety meant staying for me 

meant be their when in need

meant squeezing my hands and shoulders 

meant a specific voice 

meant a candle in a dark room

meant words put on my wounds 

meant being covered with a blanket with their scent 

safety i searched for in every corner of a house i entered

safety i never knew since they left!

i wonder is safety a feeling i develop 

or a person i didn't yet encounter!

or a person i didn't yet encounter!
