My safe house closed
A necessary preservation
Crumbling
Crushed under burdens not its own
Taken on without hesitation
I a border in this house
So selfish, so demanding
Every ounce of strength time and attention
Greedily devoured
More offerings of his exceptional human soul
Expected immediately
Withholding nothing he gives me the last nail
I stand waiting for another barely acknowledging the first
This lease extending into eternity never negating the urgency of my demands
Never softening the blows of my perpetual dissatisfaction, despite all
Fear of eviction desertion overriding
My safe house, my personal saint
Undone by me
Never realizing
The extent to which I’d stripped this beautiful soul bare
No longer can this house for so long my one safe shelter stand alone
So retreat now, be weak
It’s long past my time to be strong
Rebuild yourself in my shelter, restore with all I have
It’s yours and always has been
I give you this time alone knowing our forever together
Let me now be your safe house your saint
