Till You're Safe

My skin is crimson with blood
My hair a great mass
I lay breathless
For my heart has stopped
But my soul has not
My body may rot
And I shall perish
But my soul shall stay alight
And not find darkness
And rest only when those whom
I love are safe
My soul may linger in shadow
Until time comes to a stand still
And flowers fall
For many have loved
And many have lost
For none can be saved
Even though all are safe.
