I dreamt you up

Created you in my tears

Nights spent on tile floors hoping for escape

Days spent wandering through trash

Dirty laundry supporting my head

You were there.

It took him to get me to you

And I will forever love him for that.

Our punches and empty bottles

Rested on cardboard boxes

The only home we knew

And you were there

Trying to keep me here

Your life filled dreams

Nurtured a torn heart

You live inside me

But you created this new world

A past no longer broken

A masterpiece created with an artist who carried broken wrists

Not considered broken anymore

You dreamt me up, afterall

Creating me in your breath

Nurturing me through your growth.
