He, Him, I

He held my hand 

He didn’t let go 

The tightest grip 

The strongest smile, He did show 

"We can get through this" he said 

No hesitation 

Not faltering 

Every sensation  

Grew in my heart 

They scorned 

They mocked 

They opposed  

A door they didn’t want to knock 

The parents did say no 

As if this was a war 

But it became our battle 

Something for us to fight for 

They only want to protect 

Their little girl 

They don’t want to break 

Their little precious pearl  

He knew their side 

And understood 

But clasped on 

As tight as he could 

"It's not a battle of differences 

But of approval 

Of you growing 

But without removal" 

He said 

He showed me out of the way 

Of discomfort 

And sorrow 

With which I did suffer 

The harder it was 

The more he did cleave 

I grew to have the hope 

That he will not leave 

It's not only what I want 

But has become what I need 

His love, his presence 

Without a doubt indeed 

The tears he wiped 

The smiles he did place 

Within my heart  

Filling all the space 

Amongst the pain 

He was the light 

To fill my soul  

Throughout the entire fight 

Darkness and anger 

Was the path I walked upon 

Before he intervened into my path 

And now 'tis gone 

He cleared the trail 

With flowers along the way 

He did not fail 

To miss a day 

To complete my heart 

And with that Everything was okay  

Take a breath 

Release the tears 

Be strong and fight 

For our many years 

To live without him 

Is to have no air 

Like a corpse 

With no spirit to bear 

Take him away 

And I shall die 

The emotions I have felt 

Cannot be identified 

For it is beyond  

Man's eye 

In my heart it will stay 

 And my life did he beautify  

The journey, the pain, and the love 

I've felt 

Like none other 

And is all I need
