Unexpected Love

I met you on my darkest day.

Heart of hate, mind of rage.

Alone and disgraced.

By everyone, I am replaced.

I have ruined and failed.

I have let go and exhaled.

This is the moment I shatter.

Every piece of me scatters.

“I am more than I seem!”

You must have heard me scream.

“Blink back your tears.”

You brush back my hair.

I feel you here, so very near.

I fix my gaze,

And see through the haze.

A friendly face,

Then a warm embrace.

You pull me together,

Making me better.

Stitching me up,

The love is abrupt.

Your eyes are on me,

And you are all I can see.

Neither of us are perfect,

But both will respect and protect.

Always my hero,

To bring me back from zero.

I hope you can see,

You helped me be me.

I am always in debt,

And I will never forget.
