You deserve love that makes you feel free
To see yourself in them,
not just be their remedy.
You deserve a soft place to land
You deserve consistency.
You deserve a safe space to feel sorrow
Where editing never takes place
But this is nothing new
You've heard this wind before
And you've heard it change to a deep roar
You deserve to get back equally what you give
A balance of heart
Where you don't cower or submit.
Where your vulnerability is safe
Because it's precious
A fragile waif
You deserve the same tenderness you offer up
One you've never known
Because you're easily drawn into the storm.
A cyclone so confusing
Is this love, control, or something unknown?
You deserve to love yourself with intensity
To recoil against that which causes you pain
Because you're as vibrant as the sun
And as gentle as the dew
Your peace coats the blades of grass
It refreshes and it renews.
You deserve to exit as safely as you entered
We began with honesty.
Let us end with it too.
To not look for healing
From the one
who broke you
When was the last time you went to sleep smiling
And woke up wearing one too.
When was the last time your heart felt protected
Where it was safe to feel freely
Where it didn't need reassurance
Because you knew.
So it's best to sometimes love in silence
Because isn't it ironic
We cast aside those who adore us,
Adore those who ignore us,
Hurt those who love us,
And love those who hurt us.
