you are my reason
my light
for you i have
faced dragons
climbed mountains
barefoot
cried rivers
because of you
i chopped wood by the hour
carried weight sure to break me
filled sandbags and dammed floods
to keep you warm
and safe
the bloom on your cheeks
makes me glow
the turn of your curls
enslaves me
for you i have gone to
all the places that frightened me
endured agonies of separation
for you i learned
to live with a broken heart
through the glow
you ignited in me
through wanting to show you life
in every dark corner
i found this tenderness
inside myself
and for the first time
know self-forgiveness
through everything
i endeavored
because of you
i found
me
i see my beauty in you
hear my gratitude in your humor
feel my heart in your arms
you are my light
and i am forever
and forever
shamelessly
yours
