You need someone
who will be tender
when it comes to your demons.

You need someone
who understands
that words are sharper than knives.

You need someone
who will not hesitate
to love. You.

You need someone
who knows
that "need"
is a strong word
& must closely be attended to.

You need someone
who will address your soul adequately
when it is bared.

You need someone
who looks at you
like you are made of stardust.

You need someone
Who loves you.
Really really loves you.

You need someone
that does not need to see
the cuts on your wrist
to know the pain is real.

You need someone
who can soothe
the hurricanes of grief
in your chest.

You need someone
who acknowledges
the wars you fight with yourself.
Daily.

You need someone
who respects the love
spilling out of your chest

If not
rather be alone
for you will cause more harm than good.
Wait
until someone strong enough
to acknowledge your darkness
can love you anyway.
