He saved me.

He saved me.

Like a light in the dark, he saved me.

Like a map in a maze, he saved me.

Right when I had really lost my spark.

Right when I decided I "didn't need saving"

He took my hand, and he saved me.

He makes me. Not breaks me.

He makes me smile, makes life worthwhile.

He makes me feel like I'm the prettiest girl around. 

He makes me.

He makes me feel sound.

In his arms I lay, and everything goes away.

In his arms I lay, my heart no longer aches.

My shattered, hurt, sore heart too often breaks.

But not when I'm with him.

With him, I'm care free.

My anxiety, he calms, and my tears he wipes for me.

Like a deer caught in headlights, he blinded me.

With all his grace and charm, and my insecurities subside me.

In my bed I lay with a blade in my hand and the reaper at my door.

I sob the words, "I can't do this anymore."

Then I hear a buzz.

The blade, I drop to the floor, and the reaper steps away from the door.

"Let it be him," I beg, "Please."

I give a sigh of relief, his name on my screen.

"Hey baby :)"

Oh, he will never know just how much those two words.

Saved me.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is a poem I wrote about/for my boyfriend. I have been struggling with depression, anxiety, bpd (borderline personality disorder), suicidal ideation/thoughts, and self-harm for years now. I moved to this town 8 months ago when I left my mom\\\'s house to live with my dad in 8th grade. I am now a freshman and although we have only been dating for 2 months, it feels like I have known him my whole life. As a girl who comes from a pretty fucked up family on both sides, him just existing in my life has meant so much to me from even when we barley knew each other. I\\\'ve been in some very messed up toxic relationships and never realized my worth until I met him. We might be young, and we might change in the future but as of right now, I truly, seriously feel like we are going to last at least until we graduate college. I have never felt a love stronger than ours, not even from my own parents. He truly did save me. If he had not come into my life, I would not be alive. He gives me a reason to live.
