There's no safe place
Not here
Not anywhere
I fold into myself
But the ache follows
Creeps into every quiet corner
Fills the gaps in the walls
The room is thick with it
This weight I carry-
But I can't escape
What's woven
Into my bones
Inside or out
It's all the same
There's no safety
When my body is the abuser
When every breath
Is borrowed
Heavy
Slow
There's no silence
Only the hum of pain
That never leaves
There's no safe place
Not here
Not anywhere
I fold into myself
But the ache follows
Creeps into every quiet corner
Fills the gaps in the walls
The room is thick with it
This weight I carry-
But I can't escape
What's woven
Into my bones
Inside or out
It's all the same
There's no safety
When my body is the abuser
When every breath
Is borrowed
Heavy
Slow
There's no silence
Only the hum of pain
That never leaves
That never leaves
Even here
The light feels too bright
The air too thick
I sink into the shadows
But the pain pulls me back-
Keeps me awake
When all I crave is rest
Even sleep is a stranger
I watch the hours bleed
But nothing changes
Inside or out
It's all the same
There's no safety
When my body is the abuser
When every breath
Is borrowed
Heavy
Slow
There's no silence
Only the hum of pain
That never leaves
That never leaves
That never leaves
That never leaves
Inside or out
It's all the same
There's no safety
When my body is the abuser
When every breath
Is borrowed
Heavy
Slow
There's no silence
Only the hum of pain
That never leaves
I'm tired
But even here
There's no rest
No escape
No safe place
