You are the poetry I long sought,
and I thank the stars I finally found you,
as I string together the words that lived within me,
they finally make sense when I'm around you.

You are the poetry I long sought
when I was desperately busy seeking out supposed truths;
your existence made itself known, giving me the strength
to face realities and ask forgiveness from my tragic youth.

You are the poetry I long sought,
the one I will write about in the face of utter devastation
with the memories of warmth, gentleness, and comfort
plastered upon the smile on my face with great elation.

You are the poetry I long sought,
the one I thought I could never witness in this lifetime.
You are the poetry and the subject of all of mine,
as the words that once tortured me now became my lifeline.

I have been lost and broken, wandering for so long,
lost in the ocean of doubts, insecurities, and lonely thoughts,
but with you, my hands are guided to where I want to be;
it's with you, because you are the poetry I long sought.
