the hand I was not given

With the raging war in my mind You made it go silent With the handprints of my past reflect on me like a mirror, you looked past As I bleed out You patch me up The cold-ness of my heart felt warm That day you showed me love You showed me kindness and you showed me warmth You showed me how my scars are beautiful and my mind is strong I've never been the strongest in my mind In your mind you see me as a warrior I thought I could disappear by a blade And you would grab my hand forcing me to stay "I can't imagine a world with out you" The words so simple yet so strong "I can't imagine a world without you" The words almost seem unreal You cannot imagine a world You cannot fathom a world without.... Me? I am important? I am loved? I am cared for? And your simple response To all my questions was just A simple hug A simple hug I'd been craving for years A simple hug my heart clung together like a shatter vase with glue My heart was chained to you that day Chained to the hope and reassurance that I am loved And I'm not alone I am not alone
