You used to remind me of a stained glass window. Your colors shone brightly from the sunlight that came from your smile. And I admired your beauty for so long without realizing that you were just a bunch of broken pieces.
You used to remind me of home. I would fall asleep in your arms and your kiss was like my morning cup of coffee. I had never felt more safe than when I was with you. We built a house stronger than stone, and no one cared to tell me that even things that are supposed the be fire proof can burn down.
You used to remind me of the ocean. You had depths that I would never discover. So much life and mystery. And just like the ocean, you had dark corners that couldn't be explored. And just like the ocean, you took my breath away, and I drowned in you.
You used to remind me of beauty.
You used to remind me of security.
You used to remind me of wonder.
But now when I look at you, all I can see is your burning eyes at 3am and all I can hear is your cruel words and all I can feel are your harsh blows and all I can taste is a ****** goodbye pouring from my busted lips. And all I'm reminded of is your image in my head being shattered like the glass in your stained glass window, and the fire swallowing our home, and the ocean pushing me deeper and deeper out of love.
