a bond not broken
the only touch I've ever gotten
the patch on my heart
the blood from my wounds
the smile on my face
the way that I grow
the beat in my heart
the tears that I cry
the hope that I carry
the reason I live
that mask that is off
the siblings I have
the words that you say
the thoughts that you keep
the place that is home
the place that I love
running towards and not away
the protector from your pain
your safety I will be
your way to be alive
your light from the dark
the triumphs and the struggles
the happiness and the sorrow
a burden I will carry
your family if you need
to save you as you have saved me
to lift you up as you have lifted me
to give you warmth
your shelter from the cold
to help you heal and
close your wound
to say you matter
you have a place and you belong
to say you shine and
you only get brighter
to say you're here and
you are standing
to say you're strong and
you only get stronger
to say that you are needed
and that you always will be
just the words to say
a place that I will always choose
a world of black and white
and you are the only color
the sunshine in the room
the hand I hold
the path I take,
the life you give
what gets me through
what makes me sane
an open door, a place to know
you saved her...
