when I met you
I was broken not desperate
you didn't save me
I didn't rescue you
I didn't beg and you
didn't bow
my heart and my soul
covered in scars -
some still angry and red -
didn't repel you
and yours, tattered and
covered with wounds
long healed -
imperfections that made you
wondrous to behold
we met as equals and so
fell equally in love
and this, my bride, is why
we will
endure
You Didn’t Save Me
Y
