The safe place

by Kris Vigil   Jan 7, 2019


It's been so long, I've no idea if it's still safe.
Kneeling like I believe in a god.
Head bowed as though she is.
I place my head upon her altar.
I beg for her healing touch.
Her presence soothes me.
Her voice quiets my mind.
I feel like nothing could harm me.
My body relaxes.
My aches go away.
She makes me feel vulnerable.
She makes me feel safe.

When she leaves me, I die.
Holding myself together.
I don't want to hurt.
Someone please help.
Pain is not life.
Everyone is alone.
Remember the way it used to be.
