i've got shelter and warmth and i will keep you safe.
i've got all of my flaws but my heart still loves the same.
i've got room to improve, i've got love to reclaim.
i've got scars on my skin but my heart still loves the same.

Love thrives through struggle.

You lit up inside of me
Like a match that wanted to burn
But my heart was already on fire
Creating it's own light.
A light that kept me warm and out of the dark that you once left me in.

No, I didn't need you anymore.

But it sure felt nice to glow with you for a while.

and as i write my last words out
in hopes of someone listening,
i find that you were listening
and holding onto everything
i thought no one wanted.

i thought no one wanted me.

i knew that no one saw the signs
that i drew through my words,
until i met you
and you showed me the parts of me
no one saw.

not even me.
