Savior

Broken.
That's how I appeared before our peers
Destined for despair's company
Suffocating by all my fears.
Freshman year tore me apart,
Until I met you, my saving grace,
Gluing together the pieces of my heart
Wiping the falling tears from my face.
Your warm hands twining through mine
Which were as cold as ice, my soul frozen,
Hugging me after I broke down each day, each time,
You soon became my best friend, as if I were chosen
To be the young girl you saved from the gleam of her knife.
You always believed in me
When no one else dared to come near
Lifting me higher off the ground, making me feel free,
Running to me every time I screamed, you would always hear.
Sophomore year came and went,
My nightmares brought to life
You were my only true friend
Protecting me from drama's strife.
I grew to love you with all my soul,
My shining light, saving me again and again
Making sure I would never fall
And rescuing me from pain.
Junior year has come, dreadfully and harmfully,
I gave you my heart, told you to lock it up and keep the only key,
I trust you with the most precious part of me
And only you can set it free.
I cried in your arms, you comforted me when they turned their backs
Leaving me to turn to you and only you
When I wanted it all to end
Keeping me from becoming too sad
Brightening my day, my only best friend.
You saved my life so many times
And I am eternally grateful
For your hand on my heart,
Protecting it from harm.
