You Came When I Had Forgotten to Breathe

 

You Came When I Had Forgotten to Breathe

You came when my soul was scarred,
When trust lay shattered, and hope was marred.
I was wrapped in silence, drowning in ache,
Too hurt to mend, too numb to break.

You stood like dawn at the edge of my night,
Firm in your love, a quiet light.
You held my heart without demand,
And slowly taught it how to stand.

Your love — not loud, but deeply true,
Painted my world in colors anew.
It stitched the cracks I tried to hide,
It made me fearless from inside.

You made me feel like I was art,
Worthy, whole — a beating heart.
From shattered pieces, I began to rise,
With confidence burning in my eyes.

Your love is no less than divine,
A sacred thread in this fate of mine.
Not just a chapter — you're the start,
Of every healing in my heart.
