Letter Thirteen

Dear Love,

I wish you were here

so I could proclaim my love.

I wish you were kissing me

so I could feel the fire.

I wish a lot of things

but how many will happen.

I truly wish that you

were here to stand up for me,

not to a bully

but to my parents.

All they've ever done was hit me

Swear at me

Tell me lies

Make me believe I'm useless

and you wouldn't let them keep doing it.

You would do what it takes

to make me feel loved.

My love

I need you

more than I know 

and more than I care to admit.

You always fight for me

and say that it's right

and I fight for others 

and say that it's right.

I feel horrible

that you are the one fighting for me

and not me fighting

for me.

My love

I will always fight for you.

I can't fight for myself

but you are something 

That I promise to fight for.

My love

someday 

we won't be scared of the world

and we won't have to deal with fighting

against demons and fears

and angry parents.

Someday it'll be 

just you and me

and we'll go far

and we'll travel wide.
