The Blood & The Bones

It’s the damaged ones who will try to love you often more than you deserve.  And if you are broken they will love you even more than that.  They will pour themselves into you, filling in the cracks with acceptance and understanding.

They will do this and expect little to nothing in return because they know what it’s like to be wrecked and because some simply don’t believe they are good enough to ask for more.

They won’t love just the parts of you that are beautiful and sparkling. They will love the dirty, gritty, dull parts and show you how to make them glow again. And in turn, sometimes they take what they must from themselves and sometimes, because of this, they no longer shine as bright..

And I loved you this way.

And in the end you left still.

But I regret nothing of the way I loved you.

And I never will.
