~ not the poem i initially intended to post, and am fully aware the rhyme scheme is all over the place, but i love my best friend very very much and wanted her to see it.
I love the very bones of you
Love every breath that chases through
The whispers snatching at your brain that tear your heart in two.
For it makes you so much stronger dear
The fact you're plagued by haunting fear
Don't you know how brave you are, to you endure the fright you do?
You do the near impossible; deal with demons everyday
You take a breathe, you stare them down
And even if you run away
At least, my love, you face them
At least, my love, you try
You've got to know that where it counts, you're so much better, Ruth, than I.
