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. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@: eve_verse_

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.
