xi. saviors

when the tunnel was long and dark
and love had cruelly branded my heart with mistakes -
there was you.

you;
everything that i'd been scared of wanting
and everything i needed -

you saved me from myself -
right out of the blue.

and i never believed in saviors
never believed anyone would really appear
with armor tarnished as my mosaic shattered heart.

but then, you were just there.
you were my captor.
you were my new start.

and you picked up all these broken pieces with care
and glued them together
like new.

my brain raced with worries, "what will i do?"

because i know promises
will be made
and kisses will be peppered
onto my skin...

love is a dangerous ocean,
and im scared to jump in.

but as you hug me close,
all my worries fade.

you're the only one
who makes such a stupid girl,
such as me,
happy...

when i'm with you,
i know i've been
saved.
