Before you, I was broken
crushed into millions of
intricate pieces I couldn't piece
back together

My mind was covered
in a sheet of thick darkness;
demons
and
monsters
that swarmed my thoughts,
****** the only joy
I had left out of me

My eyes
had shed enough tears
to be compared to the
Pacific,
maybe even all seven seas
combined

My arms were covered
in battle scars,
symbols that represented
different memories
I couldn't endure,
memories where no one
was there for me

Now that you're here
I can say I'm much better;
My heart is healed
by the power of a thousand
angels that radiate
throughout the glorious skies,
my tears are saved by the
palm of your hands
and the soft gentle touch
of your fingertips,
my scars are no longer visible
or even remotely there,
only within the depth
of my own mind,
which I now know
has turned against me

But despite this,
I want you to know

(I am still broken)

I am happy when I need
to be
and sad when I am,
and I'm still trying to figure out
who I am
and why I'm here

But what I do know
is that you have enough
faith in me for
every single person
that walks the planet

And that's
what helps me
get along

That's what pushes me
to keep going:

The fact that i have
someone worth fighting for
