"I don't care how many times you speak negatively about yourself -
you'll always be perfect in my eyes."
She said.
"Perfect? Me?"
He replied-
You say I'm perfect in your eyes,
But all I see are shattered tries
The cracks I hide, the nights I weep,
The secrets that I never keep.
I smile so you don't see me drown,
A jester wearing sorrow's crown
Your words, they warm, they soothe, they heal,
Yet still, I doubt the things I feel.
If I could see through your sweet gaze,
might escape these darker days,
But broken mirrors don't reflect
The love l've failed to self-respect.
Still..
Thank you, for your quiet fight
For seeing stars in all my night.
Maybe one day, I'Il believe it too,
That I'm not lost... just seen by you.

-

And in my dreams, I find you,
just to lose you again when I wake.

"'Will you marry me?'"
she asked with hope in her eyes,
His silence wasn’t just an answer;
it was a death sentence to the future
she had imagined, shattering her in ways
words never could."

-

"He looked into her tearful eyes,
knowing his words had shattered her heart,
and felt the weight of a love he couldn't return."

-

"Through the ICU glass,
the sight of his mother’s tears shattered him,
and in her pain, he found the courage to hold on,
even when he felt like giving up."

-

"Surrounded by many, seen by some,
yet understood by none;

-

"He offered forgiveness to every soul that hurt him, but the hardest battle was the one within,
where he refused to pardon his own heart."

-

"He knew she was gone, yet deep inside,
He kept searching for her
in every place he went."

-

He is everyone's home
while being homeless himself.

-

If I could rewrite his story,
I’d give him endless time,
To see the heights his children climb,
And watch us in our prime.

I'd gift him days of laughter bright,
And nights of peaceful rest,
A life where love and joy unite,
Where he’d have been truly blessed.

He’d walk beside us, hand in hand,
To share in every dream,
His voice a steady, guiding light,
His pride, a glowing beam.

But though he's gone, his love remains,
In every step we take,
His story lives within our veins,
With every choice we make.

So though the chapters here are few,
His spirit's far from done,
He lives in us, in all we do,
His legacy lives on.
