In a safe place
I am wanted
me, all the edges
and all the angles
and the hidden
parts of me.

And no one says
"You just won't do.
You'll never be
the things I want
you never will."

No one says that in a safe place.

And no one comes
 with sudden anger
or a "What am I
going to do with you?"
look...in hopeless eyes.
Not in a safe place.

For there
if I reach my hand out only a little
                                                                             then someone reaches back
                                                                                 as gently,

                                                                                as softly,

And no one breaks
apart our reaching
and no one tears apart our silence
In a safe place-
we make together.
