Between Me and the End of the World
Folder:
Tributes to Lovers You've witnessed as darkness
swallowed all the light.
You've seen shadows consume me,
and you've come beside me
and let them take you too.
You've breathed fire
into my frostbitten heart.
But you've also prevented
hell's brimstone
from coming up to get me.
You've watched the sky fall
and reached up and stopped it.
You've dredged a fault line
in the earth and stood
between me and
the end of the world.
You've halted
my self-destruction
so many times.
You've given me
a reason to live
when I had none.
You've held my hand
through my darkest days.
You've forgiven me
when I poured
my pain over you.
And to think,
you would still stand here
and say it was worth it.
I was worth it.
I was worth all these tears
I've drowned you in
becase you want to make me happy.
I can't fathom such love.
I'm only beginning to
scratch its surface,
but its depths astound me.
Oh that I could see it is
deep enough to fill
the craters of my despair.
It is strong enough
to keep my demons at bay.
It is profound enough
to rewrite internal monologues
of inadequacy.
And I hope that I could
return the same kind of love
and shroud you in joy
for the rest of my days.
