I never knew I even NEEDED anyone in my life
just me
then one day you found me
my suit of armor chinked and full of rust
you pretended to polish it
but instead broke it down
it fell around me
orange and silver dust
once inside my hollow shell
you continued chiselling away
at hardened skin and callousness
until that fateful night
you softly said you loved me
i swerved, stuttered,
grinned, and cried
before whispering "alright"
I left it at that until later
when the knot had left my throat
and then i admitted shyly
that i'd loved you all along
and you smiled and kissed me hard
and the last icy layer melted away
exposing my heart for what it was
a heart that could never choose wrong
just me
