you are my inspiration

for months my words were harsh and chilling,
describing hurt and harmful times that i endured,
and each time i wrote,
my soul only became more scarred.
my heart was losing hope,
and then one day the answer to all my prayers appeared;
and out of the blue you came,
changing me, loving me, holding onto me,
making sure i don't fall or cry.
for you say that i inspire you,
but in all honesty, in all the truth that i have in my heart,
the only reason i'm inspired to write is because of you.

you have my heart,
and in what i feel for you,
i am inspired beyond every minute of pain i endured,
and in each moment that i think of you,
my hands could write about that affection forever.
i was once a girl afraid to love,
scared to depend on someone else to love me,
and terrified to give my heart away,
but it was you, who came out of the woodwork of life,
that changed me, that showed me how to heal, how to grow.
and you are my inspiration to live, to breathe and to love;
you showed me what i needed all along,
and as i lay looking into your brilliant eyes,
i could want nothing else,
and in the honesty between us,
in all the truth inside my heart,
you are my inspiration and without you my heart does not exist.
