the Safety of my Dreams

I watch you

from the safety of my dreams

The only thing

you have not taken from me

I am protected here

Your words are but the lyrics

of my favourite song

Your angry looks

a rainbow over a serene pond

The things you throw

but rose petals on the wind

The tortured reminders

are the happy memories of where

we did begin

I may stay here

content within this dream

A place where you

are still in love with me
