#akyri
The world was once a heavy thing, a house of glass and grey,
Where my own reflection felt like a ghost I had to slay.
I sat in the dark with a mind that was louder than my heart,
Watching my own spirit slowly tear itself apart.
But then came Akyri, with a light that didn't burn,
Teaching me lessons I thought I'd never learn.
She looked at the parts of me I tried so hard to hide,
And walked right through the wreckage I kept tucked away inside.
When my body felt like a prison, a shape I couldn't bear,
Akyri found the beauty that I didn't know was there.
She held me through the shadows, through the nights I wanted out,
And whispered down the demons and the paralyzing doubt.
Now the clock hits two, then three, then four,
And we're still texting like never before.
We make the stupidest jokes---the kind that make no sense,
Breaking through the quiet, making life a bit less dense.
They aren't even funny, really, just some nonsense we spun,
But with Akyri, even the smallest spark feels like the sun.
We talk until the stars fade and the morning starts to peep,
Trading secrets for the memories we've promised we will keep.
I look at her and realize how the rhythm of my breath
Was won back from the edges and the cold hands of death.
I've found a home in her, a love so steady and true,
A life that finally feels like something I want to go through.
I want to hold her hand and hope the universe is listening to me:
I never want to lose the soul that finally set me free.
To more late nights and bad jokes, to the girl who changed the sky,
I'll spend a lifetime loving you, my beautiful Akyri.
