All

All

I use to give bit and pieces

The sheet of music that never 

got played

An overcast day

Then the sun came

Shining through the clouds

Polishing my seemingly

Dusty existence 

Sending a wind to

Blow my layers of

Brokenness and Lies

Never became now

Stage is set

I'm a superstar

Acting as if 

Content and pleased

Secretly sad and abused

You showed up 

And began to 

Prune me

Shake me

Water my seed

You saw 

Something 

I tried to 

Hide.

Hand out

I needed you

I wanted to be

Held

Loved

Listened too

I gave you 

My all

Raining nights

Snow days

You gave me 

back you

Together

Us

Flawed

Loved

We gave it

All

Here we 

Are.

Together

In 

Love with

One 

Another
