once upon a time...

Love makes the wildest spirit tame,
and the tamest spirit wild....Alexis Delp.

she was patient with his words

careful with her mind.

there was a strong beating in her chest

she couldn't control

she tried to make it stop

she tried to ignore it

he was ...


what she imagined.
a perfect man.
he loved her.
broke her down
told her she will make it
let her know she was safe
even when he was gone.

It's funny now as she thinks back,
even the nights she wanted to leave.
he left, for good.
and she shakes herself awake at night
knowing her dreams are clearly misleading.
she's building a tolerance...
she's building a wall.
he was hers, and she is his.

she was everything he thought she was.
broke, abused, and corrupted.
she was everything he knew she was.
beautiful, worthy and growing...
coming out of her ugly
and starting her new.

this is why he left.
he taught her to love, she learned to be loved
she gave him strength to grow, he discovered more through her
then he could have ever imagined.



someday he looks back, seeing how much he discovers he loves her
she finds a man so in love with her, she's happy.
she's in love again.
however, a different love. one divine to last till his and her deaths.
but He... was and always will be the first.

the end.
