You are my serendipity
I didn't want to look for someone
Who could be my friend
Or love me
But you found me anyway
I tried to stay hidden as best as I could
You kept looking for me
Hiding in crevices of my mind
Away from prying eyes
Following the winding path
The confusing mazes of my brain
Scared you, but not enough to run away
You were only scared for me
Not of me
And for once I was surprised
For once I had hope
That maybe there was someone for me
Who could hold all of my shattered pieces
In their hands and still call it beautiful
Who could look at me and not be put off
I always hid from everyone else
And yet you saw right through me
A facade
That didn't seem stay around you
And wasn't strong enough to try
You uncovered me from the thorny vines
That wrapped my body
As a clear warning sign: To stay away
Too damaged to love
And in my cocoon you talked to me
Slowly unraveled me
Just to know my story
I sit confused
Wondering why you even cared
In my mind, I'm not good enough to love
Yet you always had a reason for why I was
I never could understand your optimism
And I hope I never do
That bright smile and words of reassurance
Always comes from the heart
And though I'm afraid I'll poison you with my thorns
You simply walk on up
No doubt or hesitation in your step
Even though I beg you to stop
You simply smile that dazzling smile
And just hold me tight
Because you know why I do the things I do
In the dead of night
You don't care how fractured I am
I'm a mosaic to you
You just want to add more pieces of yourself
To make sure I'm complete too.
