Safe

You are like the flame to my candle.
The switch to my light.
The key to my lock.
You are the beat to my heart.
The blood in my veins.
The air to my lungs.
You are like the sun shining bright.
The wind chasing the storm away.
You are my safe.
You are also the knife in my back.
The blade to my wrist.
The tears in my eyes.
You are the rope around my neck.
The blow to my heart.
The bullet in the gun.
The death to my life.
You are my safe.
You are like alcohol; intoxicating.
You are like water; necessary for life.
You are like a drug; addicting.
You are the lies I feed off of.
You are the truth I need.
You are the fire that burns me and the cold that freezes me.
You are hopeful, yet hopeless.
You are painful, yet comforting.
You are my safe.
You are what I want, but can't have.
You are what I hate and love.
You are what I want, what I need.
You are in my dreams and nightmares.
But most of all you are safe.
Safe from voices inside and out.
Safe from my fears and nightmares.
Safe from everything.
From everything except a shattered heart.
Yes, you are my safe.
