You didn't have to
try to **** me
I would have died
on my own all alone
Yet at that moment
when I was
interminable weak
I somehow then
became strong
In those days
of your worst
degradation
That was the time
I stood up
I walked on
steadfast and confident
into the places of
the greatest unknown
You didn't have to
visit all destruction
upon me
I was destroyed already
With little left that was
and not much left
to retrieve
That was when
I brought it
back together
to proceed
To again and again begin
the journey that brought
me faith once more
To when I again
in myself
believed.
