Last night you poured out on the bed,
drained the lies from your mind, and cleared your head.
Cleansing tears, washing away fears,
promising to be the man I’ve deserved for years.
Methods of destruction, from your drawers to the trash.
Setting fire to the old, till all that remained was ash.
Starting new, this time for good;
putting me first, like you know you should,
loving yourself more then you previously could.  

Because this time,
you got it right.
This time,
you know it’s worth the fight.

And there is a light at the end of this road.
You have so much beauty, just ready to be showed.
Like a raincloud, just ready to explode, and I love it.

Every piece of you.

Can’t you see your brokenness is perfect to me?

I’ll love you through the fall,
withdrawal.
Help you break down each wall,
close call.
Until you are that man I know you can’t hide.
The greatest recovery of all; The man inside.
