All my life I’ve craved love
I yearned for a void in me to be filled
A place to feel safe and seen
When your love found me
the fear clouded my happiness
I spent years running from a love
A love I felt unworthy of
I never knew happiness could exist like this
I only knew all the broken parts
What doesn’t work
I have battled your love
Almost as much as I’ve battled my own
Yet you remained
More patient than I could have ever been
You’ve loved all the evolutions of me
Embracing all of me as I grow
All those parts of me I struggle to see
Your love continues
Unwavering
Forgiving
Strong
I never had a happy home growing up
My roots are deep of dysfunction
Generational traumas handed to me
You have given me stability
Safety
Your walls keep me safe
Your door only lets the good in, keeps the bad out
Your windows give me fresh air to breathe
Your roof handles any storm
Our foundation strong
We are safe
With you I will never ever be afraid or alone
You are my home
