Never Be Safe

"Never Be Safe"

So, you think you are safe - -
wrapping yourself
in your cold hard robes of steel.
Protecting your soul from a fire,
deep, hot, flaming red.
Sheltering your mind from
a probing finger,
picking away at each
dismal piece,
like a puzzle,
needing to be whole.
So you think you are safe,
from the evil that
melts away the core,
like a candle melting wax,
hot, burning.
Hiding in darkness,
covered by thick fog,
melting over your world,
like a deep black
puddle of tar,
taking you deeper,
until your last breath,
suffocates you,
making you realize,
you will never be safe.
