Safe Place
July 18, 2012
The woods are a safe place
and I hunt my emotions
Saving the lives of families
I am quick, lost but strong
I am called
Now I'm weeping from inside,not out
Have to keep my head high
He is called and I know him
He saved a family too
but I owe him... something
Confused by feelings
I hunt to kill
but team up to rebel
Can't change me
Can't change us
Eat the berries of life
Even though we expect death
Holding hands
And the star-crossed lover card is played
When I lay my head
on the chest of a boy who loves me
