Him
May 21, 2022
A warm fuzzy feeling filled up my heart
With his stormy blue eyes, he made it light
The world around me didn’t seem that dark
He smiles at me even when I bite
We get into fights, too stubborn to stop
But we know how to pause when things get much
Just utter marshmallow and let it drop
Taking deep breaths to regain our touch
I used to question if I was worth it
Trying to crawl my way out of my head
But then I met him, and he was a gift
And for the first time, I didn’t feel dread
Love is a funny thing to understand
But to be completely honest it's grand

I wrote this piece in a difficult time of understanding of myself. When I had met my significant other, I had just been trying to find my way out of an abusive relationship. They had helped me by just talking at the time, letting me vent. Then I got that gall to break up with my abuser. I intern got with them. At the time I thought that I wasn't worth it. I've been with my current S/O for almost three years, and he's been able to help me learn how to love myself. And I hope this poem expresses that and my adoration for what he's helped me see.
