Only You

I didn't know she was a thief,

I didn't know she came to steal

It didn't seem she was like them types

Who'd come to play games and spend the nights

Too much of her has been broken 

She's lost her faith and now she's in ruins

Too much of her has been taken

She always stares at herself in the mirror wondering why she's always mistaken

She carries the brokenness from her past 

All men she hates quietly in her heart 

Her beauty has become her curse, as after her body all men thirst

Her heart turned cold and then to stone

Losing faith in man she took matters into her hand

Her hate fueled her revenge and out for her honor she avenged

She used her curse as her strength and broke the pride of many men

She had them dancing around her in circles

While she took what she lost and broke them until they were cornered

Drunk in her newfound power she thought she had won

Only to find she was alone in the world still wanting to be loved

What plans, the universal mind makes no one knows

But beauty is all what you can see everywhere around in the cosmos

She too was such a plan, while she roamed unknowingly with her troubles in her hand

Her destiny was such that she would be sent to scheme on a kind young man

While she tried to break him, nothing seemed to work on him like the other lads

There was something about his eyes, he was kind and very wise

He always stayed calm and composed and accepted her troubles as his own

He tamed the wild emotions in her which she couldn't control

Something about him was so mysterious, and everything about him made her curious

He just seemed to see her as she once was and gave her the respect she had lost

And without asking he healed her heart, quietly and silently he nursed her troubled heart

The hate that plagued her heart was silenced

There was peace and calm and no sign of violence

She stared at the mirror with disbelief as a smiled cracked on her face for only love she could feel

Life is like this she thought to herself for only you were meant to be mine and no one else

Only you could change the brokenness in me, only you could see the beauty in me

The once cursed heart was now blessed with a blissful feeling 

And like all stories her life began to have meaning

There's only you and you alone for me

Without you there's no place called home for me

Only you make me feel like it's ok to be me

Because only you need me as me

You taught me that I'm enough, as I am

Your contentment makes me full of happiness when I'm sad

You exposed the truth and set me free 

Just when I felt like I should give up you gave hope to me

All the hurt and the pain of my past makes sense

Only now do I see the value of who I am from the values you gave me instead

You made me whole as whole as I can be

Only you made me, see me, for what I am and could be
