Space

you told me 

you needed space 

so i wanted to give you the entire galaxy 

with all of it’s shining moons and stars 

you needed to cry a river

but i wished to supply you with an entire ocean 

you were broken glass but 

i was prepared to ruin my hands trying to put you back together

you're everything to me 

all the bruises and scars 

i know you can’t see that and you’re heart hurts 

i know you think i’m ready to throw you into the dirt 

but I want to take you soaring above the clouds 

i want to take your tears and paint masterpiece

that's as beautiful as you are

i want to kiss your bruises and scars and tell you

and tell you you're perfect as far as my eye can see

because you light up the stars 

you said you needed space 

so I want to give you every planet in the universe.

but you said you needed space 

and now it feels like we're millions of planets apart

I love the way you use the word "space" differently in each line. This is a really beautiful piece, especially your last stanza, great work !
