Today you saved me
I think it's the hardest thing
By far I've ever had to admit
I heard your voice
Echoing down the hall
N' followed it
I was scared
Because...
The amount of warmth
That followed was uncanny
The smile that slid
Across your face
As you reached for my hand
...
BREATH TAKING
...
I love you
Slipped from my lips
Effortlessly
I left a trail of blood
From the previous
Broken hearts
N' wounds from past lovers
You took me in
Your small nimble hands
Taking time to kiss
Each wound
As you sewed it up
Your tender care
N' patience
Made me love you even harder
Today you saved me
I don't think I'd ever
Let my lips
Part these words to you
Because
If you hurt me
I'd break
I love so much
That I'll draw the line with my mother
I'll fix your plate before mine
N' if you're still hungry
I'll give you the food from mine
I'll take my last
N' share with you
Including the shirt off my back
Today you saved me
A birth of a new human being
I love hard
I hurt less
I give more
Not to mention
I'm blessed
You opened my eyes
To what love
Should've been
To how I am supposed to love
N' receive love
I opened a new book
Are you willing
To write our future with me
