sanctuary

You saw me when I was just a young arrogant thing,
And burned your fire passionately against mine.
You saw me at my worst,
And released me to the world,
I was sad and confused and hurt,
But you still forgave me.
I watch the sands of time trickle slowly
While I still heal within and without.
You let me rant and cry and be foolish,
Usually met with the same silence.
I am not always so caught up in keeping from drowning in my own mess
That I do not try to give you all I can to make your burden less,
I would move the world with my words for you
And your gravity keeps me from vanishing into space.
The idea of you gives me sanctuary in this life,
A place to lay my head,
When no one else loves me,
Through these years,
You've been my biggest fan, my champion.
I adore you.
