You

You have rubbed away mascara tears
As they spilled out over my cheeks
Anointing my scorched skin with your kindness
Love and eternal faith in me

You have kissed my bruised heart better
When it had fallen out onto the ground
You blew away the filth and insects
Before they could sink into its fleshy mound

You refilled my glass when it ran dry
Of happiness, excitement and reason
I became drunk on the contents
But you didn't mind
Because you're my angel sent down from the heavens

You helped me grow from the seed of youth
Ripping out the weeds as they tangled,
From the light of your essence
I borrowed the strength
To encourage my spirit to blossom

So if ever a time you feel lost on your way
Through the journey on which you must travel
Just look across to the other path where I stand,
Its not too far away
It's floating along the same level

You are my life
You are my past
You will always be in my future
