Unraveling.

I can feel myself unraveling.

Breaking down, piece by piece.

You break down the walls I spent years fortifying

Because I was scared of the world

And all the people in it.

You make me feel alive again.

Happy and whole and okay.

You make me feel invincible.

Like the world is mine to conquer.

You make me believe in the possibility

of making it out of this world okay.

You make me feel young

And innocent, and unscarred again.

When I'm talking to you I forget responsibilities

And all I can think about is the color of your eyes,

And how goddamn hot you are.

I can feel Myself unraveling.

No longer a knotted up mess of hate and fear.

I’m turning into something that can be worked with.

Something that I feel I can love again.

You remind me that I am lovable.

The journey of self-healing is a long fucking journey

But babe I wouldn’t have made it as far as I am today

Without you.

Good god, I love you.
