Angel of my tears

you gave me a purpose

𝐈 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞,⁣⁣
I carried you with swollen feet and heartburn,⁣⁣
ate healthy to help you grow big and strong,⁣⁣
laughed one second and cried the next,⁣⁣
and ran to the restroom 50 times a day with restless sleep,⁣⁣
until you were ready to come into this world,⁣⁣
𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And then time froze, as you were placed into my arms,⁣⁣
my eyes heavy with exhaustion and love,⁣⁣
and I held your little body and fed you until you gave a little smile and fell asleep on my chest.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞,⁣⁣
to want to be better.⁣⁣
And right now, you need me in a way that you will never again,⁣⁣
to carry you in my arms until I can't because you're too heavy,⁣⁣
to dress you until the day you can put your pants on yourself,⁣⁣
and to be your everything.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠⁣⁣
when everything screams, I can't.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.⁣⁣
So, my mind and heart revolve around you,⁣⁣
and always will.
