Safeguard

Had my own hard-earned stability

Fought tooth and nail independently

But instead it's a cage for me

Through which I observe life

Don't touch my skin it doesn't sing for you

I'm all touched out in a way that you

Can't understand until you're in my shoes

Where numbness fills my nights

And I've given you the whole of me

You never seem to feel

That it's enough

I'm tumbleweed, I'm barely seen under

The shadow of our life

If I let you

I'll disappear you'll never hear

Her breath takes me on a dreamless sleep

Connecting with another side of me

Who realises she can't feel

Where you end and I begin
