Safety Blanket


A blanket of purityHoles burnt into the fabricTears woven into the seamsWrap yourself tighterInhale the fire you createdSmother your fears iwth itBalance your hopesForefever in debtTo your purityForever alone wiht your purityA balnket of sinsFlip it over and its cleanNo one side is safeMy balnket of purity
