My Heroine

For Lexus

When I was swallowed by consuming grief
from a life I left behind
You walked with me into the darkness
lurking in my mind

You sat with me as I struggled with pain
you could never understand
From a horrific loss of innocence
bled out in the sand

You heard the screaming from my wounds
when I cried out in my sleep
You saw the pain etched in my face
from the memories I keep

You were there for me to hold onto
when I was terrified
That life could never be the same
from what I justified

You gave yourself to me completely
When I craved relief
I lost myself within your essence
A healing for my grief

You were there when I got better
holding out your hands
Beckoning me to come to you
To be your loving man

You stood by me in my darkest hour
A dangerous place to roam
So now whenever I see your smile
I know I'm finally home

My lover my muse my shining star
Glowing from within
For everything you are to me
You're my heroine

One of the most beautiful poems I've ever read!

Thank you Saratoga

It's wondeful when a loved one draws you out from your darkest times and lifts up your kindred spirit. I'm happy for you, man!

I like this poem a lot because I feel I can relate to it so well. A few months ago, I was very depressed. Thanks to my partner, and a wonderful support system, I got help, and now I feel a whole lot better.

I'm glad you're feeling better. An understanding partner is a beautiful thing
