his storm was over.
and i was sitting alone on a driveway
wet with rain and rough on my thighs
your hand was there to pull me up
and you reminded me of the sunrise
after a year-long night
365 days spent -
wasted
- on someone who left me nearly destroyed
but there was a single sprout of life left in me, a tiny lick of green to prove i was more than he could ****
and you spent long days and longer nights
nurturing that inside of me -
that sprout of hope that no one else could find
and i hope we're standing together one day
years from now
with your arm around my waist
and your face smiling a foot above mine
someone will ask how we got so lucky
and we will know the answer
you showed me sunshine when i knew
nothing but storms
you saw me at my worst and you stayed
when no one else did
you cared for me when I was all
anger and hate and sharp edges
you taught me how to trust again
until i was almost human
the sprout grew into a garden because of you
and all of it is yours
