abundant

you make me question everything,

i thought i had it all figured out inside my little red head,

and i absolutely adore it

what takes me by surprise

is how much concern you show towards my tiny existence,

and the world has its own agenda

you hold gently onto my hand

and show me i have worth when my eyes get foggy

and i can barely hold myself up

your laughter is my medicine

sweet and sticky like cough syrup from childhood illness

but a remedy for my twisted thoughts

and when i see your face

cast down, in thought, in sadness, or just in exhaustion

i'd sell my soul to take it away

so don't let the words escape your lips:

how me simply speaking to you is more than you deserve

because you deserve, in abundance, more than the galaxy can provide

please god realize how much worth you have. there is no reason you should feel so hateful towards yourself. don't ever wish yourself dead, never again. you're perfect and i love you. you're my best friend.
