I never knew love like Yours In all my darkened years. I never knew patience like Yours In all my mental institutions. I never knew what it was To be whole in heart and soul Until You came in And kissed my lips And took my hand And led me home Without one thought for my darkest demons. You loved me and held me. You fed me and clothed me. You made Your home mine too. And when my heart broke And the nightmares spilled out Like a child's box of trinkets Scattered across the floor, You picked up each shard of broken heart Without so much as a second thought To whether they would cut You too, And gently put them back together With meticulous finesse Until my heart matched Yours In perfect cohesiveness. I must confess Your love has made me whole.
