The Mirage of Safety

I will never again

Let my vulnerability

Get the better of me

What felt safe

Was an illusion

A mirage

That disappeared

Just when

It started

Feeling like it

Was safe


The warmth I trusted

Turned cold in a blink

Words once soft

Now sting with silence

Promises dissolved

Like ink in rain

Leaving behind

A blank page

Where love once lived


Now I wear my strength

Like armor

Not to hide,

But to remind myself

That even softness

Deserves a shield

And trust

Must be earned

Not assumed
