Believe

Broken

I decided that I could take no more

allow no one any closer

for I could no longer

take the pain.

Torment

heartache

tears

so so many tears

that allowed me no release

from my broken past.

Than you.

You took my hand

you took my lips

you took my entirety

finding a place in my life.

A hero

not always wearing a cape

not always rushing into danger

can be that one person

who makes you believe again.
