Keep Yourself Safe

Keep yourself safe
he whispers to me
across the phone
my thoughts out to sea
as I imagine this man
I always have known
but his heart only recently
with time have been shown

such love and such care
are tucked away there
and with silly voices
and lessons
he tells
of his love

as his heart
enlarges
and swells
well..
this heart now hurts
his every being
and this thing that is beating
is painful
not freeing
but the love still lingers
as he whispers his warning
thankfully he gets out of that place
in the morning
to return to a home
where his love now sleeps

thats what we are
just little
loving
heaps.
