Saftey blanket

Writer's picture: Bjørk O'HaraBjørk O'Hara

Ripped clothing, stretched across her back,

Blocking what is left that she can hold on to.

A cold breeze knocks her off her feet,

The cloth no longer has any meaning.

The colour has worn away,

The once warmth has turned cold.

He was once her safe place,

Now she is feeling lost.

Trying to find herself, reaching for the one she used to be,

Before he came, and whisked her away to something wonderful.

Now that he is no longer available to her,

She clings to her safety blanket.

Feeling sad and sadder, she decides to get rid of this safety blanket,

Knowing deep inside her, this is for the best.

But what to do with this piece of cloth?

Does she rip it to pieces?

Does she burn it?

Does she give it away?

Or does she redesign it to her liking?

She tries it, but doesn't like the design,

She knows that when she wears it or looks at it, it will remind her of him.

Burn it, she couldn't, as she was scared that he would ask for it back.

Wearing it whilst she works on herself, panic rushes through her,

As she rips it off her bare back,

She throws it to the ground, feeling as though she can't catch her breath.

Pushing it to the bottom of her bag, thinking to herself that she will find the first bin and throw it away.

She can't though.

As it lies at the bottom of her bag, she contemplates about what to do with the meaningless cloth.

Decisions, decisions. what will she do?

He'll not ask for it back, as that would mean he would have to talk to her.

So, she will throw it away, in order to get her life back.

That is what she must do, then that is what she'll do.
