I need more than a strong person to love me.
I need someone who can take on
one hell of a battle and not even flinch.
I need someone who doesn’t scare easily
when the safety on my shotgun heart falters.
What I need is hard to come by.
Trust me when I tell you
I have searched my whole life
and it’s hard to find someone
who doesn’t run for their life
when they feel the way
my love can pierce a soul.
But I’ll never stop searching
for the one who recognizes
my eyes are colored with chaos
but my heart is a million stars,
even when their sky is empty.
