The Love You Find When You Open Your Eyes

So I met this guy 
Who gives me everything 
in the world 
I have known him since sixth 
But then we had a fall out 
I love him to death 
I hope marry him some day 
But will love me even with 
my past 
Between the rape to the beatings
from dad 
Yes, he will 
This is the love I found because 
I opened my eyes and looked 
at the big picture 
I love you Andrew Alan Huddleston

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
