5 | Sweet Love

You saw me beautiful
Though I was broken and so pitiful.

When I spoke, you heard melodious tunes
Even when I whispered accusations in my fumes.

You spoke words of promise and of a future
Even when I didn't believe, or of your credibility was I sure.

Your body was worn out for a task that wasn't yours
Even when I didn't know you and the whole world saw me to be of the roughest coarse.

You always saw the good in me
Nothing else mattered.
You always picked me up
My knight from another world.

Now I know you
And I love you.
And nothing else matters when I'm with you.

Not a shadow of doubt.
Not fears.
Absolutely nothing.

And that...
Is the power of love.

This was one of the old pieces. Parts of it makes me cringe, but I'm still glad that I wrote it. It was one of those humble beginnings.
