I Stand, Still in Awe

You are the balm for my raw heart,  
And when I saw the tears you were fighting,
I hurt with you.
 
It's such a fucked up thing.
We the silent and mess,
Far from works of art.
This poem.
We idiotic youth.
 
But you were sweet, and you were honest,
And you never said you were perfect.
And we were caught in the grasp of sadness,
But you have strength.
 
They will paint us as monsters.
They dig the dirty needles in the haystack,
And I want to hide you from the world,
I want to hide you from myself,
For myself.
 
You have become the name that fills my  
Mornings,
My midnights,
My lips,
My mind.
 
And we're utterly stupid, but
I'll continue to love that obscene loud mouth,
Those blue eyes.
Even if I hate the words sometimes,
Even when you're being blind.
 
And I  
Will love another less;
I will love another more,
But I know I
Will never love them the way I love you.
 
And once the world decided that they hate us,
 
Here,
I stand.
With you.
 
Still in awe.
