Poems about safe

An empty chair,
This lonesome retreat,
I've sailed away from the thought of you
Split the tides like a knife,
Forgot the person I once was,
Looking for some far away shore
Somewhere to drop anchor,
It is more difficult now than ever,
Our names no longer in association,
All the lingers are the memories
The constant in these reflections,
Something to be learned
Something to be lost

When the thieves broke in,
They broke my mother's heart,
They broke my naiveto,
They broke my maternal lineage,

By making her closet bare,
She stood barely recognizing it,
Stared at her safe,
Her
Bulletproof
Fireproof
Apocalypse proof
Safe
Code c r a c k e d,
Deadbolt door eerily open.

ВЂњIt's just jewelry, ” she muttered,
[Passed down from one generation to the next,
Dating back to an invaded India,
Surviving six hundred soldiers,
Smuggled within folds of saris through seas,
Stories etched in souvenir gold].

ВЂњAt least we're all safe, ” she stated with conviction.
[Yet I couldn't help but feel,
A physical furthering,
From my immigrant ancestors,
Who passed along secrets with every pendant,
Who whispered hopes in every ornate hairpin,
Who stored their aspirations in every accumulation:
Real riches knit with poetic prospers from the past].

How funny
To imagine the thieves
Pricing a priceless object --
Ironically making it worthless
Because the burglary left behind
The heritage.

There will be someone
Willing
To
Save
You

Loves sees no boundaries,
Love sees no limits,
So why is it that I feel my heart quit?
Every so often, I feel so alone,
And I feel myself close,
And become a body
That no one can hold.

Sometimes I question if I'm already dead
If life has left me tattered and broken

Sometimes I stare unblinking into space
Sometimes I have to remind myself to breathe

I don't know that I would care
If I live or die

If it's all the same to those I don't know
It should be all the same to those who know

Sometimes there are those who don't know me
I'm a puzzle even I cannot solve

As if life were given a dagger
And allowed at the pieces of me

I both hate and love solitude
A time when I am free

Because at one point or another
I must face those thoughts I hide away

So tell me if it's safe to love
Tell me if it's safe to live

You can only count to be safe with your own mistakes and choices.

Save me with your safety
We both know
Maybe I'm wrong,
And I'll find out late,
Maybe the silence is kind of okay
I second guess, but I feel it in my bones
And I need you like cars need stop and go
Like a light in the sky,
Blue and unknown
That's the air between us
Just as long as you call,
It's cool
