Observation
It was you
who found me there
where shadows spread wide,
stagnant in the silent muck.
And with you, love —
a love fierce as truth —
you shattered the dark.
Not with promises,
but with presence,
with eyes that saw my flaws,
and accepted them just the same.
You didn’t save me,
you reminded me
how to breathe again,
how to live in light
without apology.
For that, I thank you.
In ways words can never speak.
