You named my scars
Made me feel I could
Reach the stars.
Made everything feel lighter.
Sharing myself with you
Made everything better.
I wasn't scared to be me.
Wasn't scared of being naked
With the lights on,
No longer needed to be
Lit by the TV.
Felt you understood
And I didn't have to
Watch out.
Wanted to tell you
Everything.
Never need to guess.
Never feel second best.
Didnt need the heating on
As you heated me
With a single heart beat.
