Safe Love.

It speaks for itself.

In the darkness, her dead eyes looked for your light,
In the cold, her hands trembled in fright.

She lost hope and gave up trying,
Her body and mind; slowly dying.

In the midst of the darkness, a pale hand moved towards her slowly,
She raised her eyes and flinched; he picked her up carefully.

Through catastrophes and storms; he held her tight,
And for the rest, he never let her out of his sight.

glad you have more time now Simran ... hope school went well ... i like the couplets ..i like the direct way you put me there in that room ... the comfort of being held is palpable ... i wonder if she is on her death bed ... probably not your intent but it seems to fit to me :) i am a retired nurse and i recall being told that one of human beings greatest fears is to die alone .. i see this prince Charming as Jesus bringing someone safely home ... again, i know, that is probably not your intent ;)
love can be a tough road ..can suck the life from anyone when not returned ... you leave the ending very open ..she is safe now ..but does she recover?? :)

There is no Safe love. We give our heart in hopes that it will never break. And that's the risk we all take

[Simran Kewlani]

Safe Love is in reference to the poem. He kept her safe. He was her love. Hence, Safe Love. :)

A hard journey ending with a positive ending.
"Through catastrophes and storms; he held her tight,
And for the rest, he never let her out of his sight."
