Worth it

You said you're not worth it

You said I don't deserve this

But when I hadn't been watered 

And stopped growing for months- 

You held my crown

You softened my frown,

You steadied me up from the ground

And uncovered my dawn. 

You caressed my tear strained cheeks 

With your slender, soft fingertips 

You mended all the leaks 

You anchored yourself into more depth .

  

And after all was said and done

You came to me and said

"You deserve better" 

I fell hard on the stone cold ground

And I swear I heard all my hopes

And dreams shatter out loud.
