Something in me knows better

She knows it’s not safe here

Things are looking familiar

No physical danger

But an emotional minefield

Mind field

Brain & intuition at war

I’m still learning to fully trust myself

I know it’s not safe here

Where’s the security?

You’re safe in me

But myself? In you?

No. Where’s the security?

Glean never-ending reassurance

and leave me barren

You’re taking me from my element

Pulling me from my essence

and leaving me empty

I have to protect her

You’ve seen the love I can give

Your eyes grow green; your aura dark

Wanting what’s mine

I want to be wrong but she whispers

“Run”.
