safe

one word

four letters

such a small word

to have quite an impact

safe

a feeling

of protection

a layer to hide

the self-destruction

safe

one word

four letters

that's how she felt

that's how you

made her feel

safe

you were the one

for her

the one she

could rely on

that she could

count on

you

that was all

because of you

i mean

who else would she go to

when she needed

a laugh

who else would she go to

when she needed

a hug

you were her safe zone

you were her reason

you were the one person

she could count on

rely on

safe

one word

four letters

what was she

supposed to do

when you were gone

what was she

supposed to do

when you walked away

you were her safe zone

you were the one person

she trusted

the one person

she felt cared

you were the one person

who ruined that trust

you were the first person

to break her heart

you

her safe zone

her reason

you were her person

and god did she regret it
