Fragile

TheIrishDevil posted a photo:

You’ve been biting bullets all these years, I know
There beside yourself, choking on tears
And you aced avoiding possibility
When you placed your bets on bittersweet

Now don’t you worry
No need to be sorry
Time to step lightly

‘Cause the love you used to feel’s still there, inside
It may be a faded photograph but I know you care, so don’t hide
If you’re scared, I’m here beside you
If you get lost I’m here to guide you

And I’ll give you peace when peace is fragile

Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile

To You –

I know I’m not easy. Thank you for being my much needed peace – even when I’m railing against it and I can’t explain or understand why I do. I /am/ healing, thanks to you. Some wounds run deep… I know you intimately know this to be true. And I can’t promise I’ll ever be perfect. But I can keep healing.

I look forward to the day when your hands find only faint silvered scars when they pass over me, instead of the still-mending mess of me now. I pray that your patience with me holds strong until then. And on that day, whenever it comes, healing done, I hope you’ll realize that those scattering remaining marks were softened and tended by you.

I love you, Bolton MacIntyre.

– Me
