it's pointless to think of turning back now there's no way to save what it

gone there's no need to lie no need to cry and no way to stay safe and warm

the porch light was left on till morning each night tears always followed

the dawn there's no compromising it's not so surprising we lost what was

safe and warm although i cried in my sleep somehow i felt so relieved to be

free of pain think how excited we'll be think how delighted to see and

breathe new life concrete dividers block the outsiders whose words we

interpret as harm they're weapons we used and often abused to destroy what

was safe and warm bittersweet memories of what we called love fly through

my head in a swarm i look back clench-fisted at how it got twisted so far

away from safe and warm
