I see the world and fall into despair
Confusion and anger scatter everywhere
I know I'm blessed but emotions still burn
Because the thought of a world that refuses to learn

Honesty is valued but only if it alines
With the premade opinions of the ever-changing times
The drenching pain of extreme loss
Some may understand, but few know the cost

I don't understand my thoughts
The fill me with things that make me distraught
Heart broken people and lost ingenuity
But amongst this mess is undeniable beauty

You are more than my lover,
You are also my best friend,
We both know this connection,
Will never come to an end.

The love we share is stronger,
Than concrete, or even steel,
No harsh words or argument,
Could ever change the way I feel.

The bond we have is solid,
My heart at last is protected,
Unshakeable passion in your
Eyes is what I see reflected.

A mirror to my own feelings,
It's strange to look into your soul,
And see the same scars I'm made of,
Plus the things that make me whole.

Now a flame is ignited,
Where there once was a spark,
Lighting up a part of me,
I was sure would always be dark.

The way you understand the world,
And what makes it spin around,
Reminds me again why you are,
The anchor to which I am bound.

The energy flowing between,
Our two hearts will never sever,
For the first time I believe,
Love really could last forever.
I'm in love and I can't believe it.
What do you think? Constructive criticism is appreciated!
