Thank You

I was cold once.
I was stuck
in a frozen wasteland
of people who tried
to understand but
couldn't.

I'm thawing. I'm
thawing and it's
all because of
you, and you
know who
you are.

You wrapped
smiles and joy
around me like a
blanket, and sheltered
me during the
blizzards.

You were there on the
days I hadn't eaten
anything at all,
cut, and cried myself
to sleep, repeat.
Repeat.
Repeat.

All because some
asshole didn't love
me.

This went on for
weeks and you still
treated me like I was
human, though I was certain
I was just as frozen as
the world I lived in.

You were there as I
recovered, relapsed,
and collapsed and you
caught me. You were
there for me.

Thank you.
