My battle scars,
They aren’t for show,
They aren’t for gossip.
They are MY reminder,
A reminder of how strong I am.

Most days were ****** and traumatising,
I lost those battles.
Others were full of victory and recovery,
I won those battles.

Each little scar has a story behind,
Those stories define me as a person.
A person who suffered and lost,
But now is beginning to build back up.

Each day the battles got harder to win,
At that point my head had given up,
I wanted to throw my life in the bin,
Forget about the torture and humiliation.

Until a beautiful human being walked into my life,
He taught me that giving up is selfish,
He gave me motivation to push through,
To show others I’m not collateral damage.

I will proudly show that this beautiful human being is mine,
Someone I am grateful for,
Someone I will love and cherish everyday,
Someone I am not afraid to show others I love.

Every story has an ending,
I loved you with all my heart,
I can't let go of what I felt for you,
So please don't ask me to,
I can't describe the feeling,
Im in the process of healing.

You made me feel happiness,
You made me feel special,
You made me feel alive,
All because of three words.

I was crazy in love with you,
I know that sounds cliché,
Us teenagers don't know love,
But I really did love you.

We had ups and downs,
But you always stuck by my side,
You stayed up with me when things got hard,
I just want to say thank you for being there,
For the great memories,
For the amazing experiences,
A shoulder to cry on,
To rant to,
For telling you things that I wasn't able to speak out about.

You took the pain away,
You Put a smile on my face,
You made me feel safe,
All because of three words.

I know I wasn't the best,
I know you didn't like me scarring myself,
I know you didn't like me calling myself names,
I know you didn't like me changing myself,
But its hard to stop,
I felt alone,
I felt isolated,
When I finally opened my eyes and realised I had you,
It was to late.

My sister always used to tell me there's a light at the end of every tunnel,
I just hope there's one for me and you.

You were the only thing that kept me together,
The one person who kept me from loosing my sanity,
Now your gone,
My light has too.

I wish you the best,
I wish you happiness and joy,
Just know that I will always love you.

You made me a different person,
You were the reason I got out of bed everyday,
You gave me a reason not to be afraid,
All because of three words.

I love you.
