She Is Love

She Is Love

A Poem by Gem

She's always there for me

She's kept me going

Pushes me forward

She loves me with everything she's got

Forces me to hold my head up high

Dries my tears

Holds me all through the night

Tries her best to cure the pain

Put a smile on my face

She helps me up when things get bad

She knows me better than anyone

Pours her strength in me when I have none

Made sure I got to where I needed to be

Encouraged my dreams

She's kept me from being lonely

She hears the verbal abuse

Is there when it turns physical

Tries to shield me as best as she can

She keeps me on my feet

Standing tall

She's there when things get desperate

When all I want to do is run

Makes sure no one sees

The tears that fall from my eyes

She clears my path in life

When it gets blurry

She'll always be there

Even when I don't think I need her

She'll always fight for me

To keep me happy

As I drown in the river of death and despair

She will pull me out

Breathe life back into my lungs

Tell me it'll be alright

Even if she's not sure

She'll care for me until she has nothing left to give

She may not look it but she is strong she is love

She is me

And I am all I will need

At least...

For the time being
