Sitting here
Pouring these words upon this page
Writing for hours
As tonight fades to day
You've heard it all before
"I love you so much more"
But this I can't deny
In your hands, my heart lies
Broken and mended
Have been all that I've known
Until with needle and thread
You came and began to sew
You held me tight
Listening as the hours passed
Something this exquisite
I knew wouldn't last
Yet no matter how hard I tried
To hide away inside
You came to learn in time
Just how to dry my eyes
You'd pursue relentlessly
Triggering the tears
The one's that I'd hidden
For so many years
I'd tremble in your arms
As you breached my hardest feat
But you'd console regardless
Of my rambling pleas
You'd soothe away
Any remaining fears
Holding me close
While wiping each tear
Here we are now
Just four months together
You're still by my side
But at times I question why.
I can still feel
The lingering pain within
And I find myself wondering
How you could love someone broken
Sighing
Crying
I feel I'm inevitably dying
I'm shackled to these chains of torment
As I lay here thinking of everything I resent
The list of names soar through my mind
But when I think of you, it all subsides
Cause inside I know
You'll never let the hurt and pain
Never, ever
All be in vain.
Five years later
I'm smiling up at you
Smiling and crying
As the doctor hands our baby to you
I watch you cradling him
There in your arms
Wondering just how
We ever made it this far
You saved my life
In more ways than one
Somehow all the bad
You had made undone
As you lay him down
Against my chest
I stare up in your eyes
Not knowing the rest
But in your eyes, I can see
That it's not just a journey
And the one thing that matters most
Is to love one another unconditionally.
