Poem

no i wouldn't die for you.
i wouldn't,
and i'm not sorry.
i spent too long hiding in the shadows,
waiting 
lurking
wanting
and hoping
that they'd see that I would have.
in an instant,
i would have. 
a bullet, a train, a grenade, a pile of pills.
i would've taken any of them
for anyone.

but instead, 
life shot me with an arrow.
life gave me you.
this is not a love poem,
this is a hope
that you'll make it to tomorrow 
because i know tomorrow has rarely
been a promise
that you've intended to keep.
and that's not your fault,
it never has been
never will be.

you've seen me in the pitch of night,
staring at the figures in the walls
creatures that only i could fear.
you stuck by me,
and you waited
and watched
and loved
and cared.
you care.
I've so rarely had that
in my life 
and im grateful every day to you.

you gave me the confidence
to adorn the spaces
on my walls
which haunted me
with pictures of what i loved
and my darling,
we're there,
and we will be
and we will be
and we will be.

I've sworn by you,
not to you,
and the difference is looming
for we are 
not one piece
split in halves,
but two wholes,
held together by joy,
and peace,
and what we've found in the bed
we make together.

i love you,
i do.
i do,
i will.

i'm not afraid of your mind's defenses,
the scare tactics
to ward off those
who are not true,
who are not yet ready 
to defend you
and protect you,
to care
the way you do. 
I'll stand by you,
like you have by me,
and i will love you 
for as long as you shall
let me.
