SHE

She peeled back my skin and dove within 

Slipping through the seams of my armor 

She slid beneath the steel and strength

Until the armor was no longer fashioned to protect me but to envelop us

She fit - connected in a way that only a puzzle fashioned by the creator could have made

She Tenderly loved me in ways I’d never needed but suddenly could not live without.

She  Changed me - quietly stripped away the loneliness and left tenderness in its place

You - it’s been you - the storm that never ends, the drink that never dries up, the warmth that never grows cold.

You fastened me together better than I could have done alone.

You put effort into us. You made two singles one whole with deliberate determination. 

She - 

she’s 

honestly 

everything - to me.
