If Love Had a Name

I was fine being broken. Or at least that's the lie.

Our smiles like armor. Let the lonely nights slide. And you walked

in softly. No thunder, no sound. But the walls

I built for years all came crashing down. You saw through

my silence. Read pain in my eyes. Held parts of my heart

I kept buried inside. Every scar had a story. You listened to

all. For the first time in my life I didn't feel

small. I was losing my faith in the whole damn thing
