Avalanche

You've seen me at my worst,
still you loved and believed in
me. Seen me void of makeup,
in sweats and a hoodie-still
you kissed my lips as you
whispered that I was beautiful.

Your arms have comforted me
as tears streamed down my face,
Hiccuping into your shoulders-
thought to myself you shouldn't
let him see you like this; like you
are weak.

Yet; you never viewed
me as weak-

even in my weakest moments.

Walls caved in like an avalanche,
you didn't need any tools to break
through them, just being yourself
was more than enough and I've
spent twenty six years refusing to
believe every compliment that was
thrown my way; but the moment you
hand me one, I clutch it, believing it
to be true, because I know that

-you believe everything
that you say to me.
