How do you love a man who claims himself to be a monster? You pull him out of the fire But make sure he doesn’t set himself aflame again. How do you love a man who calls everyone around him a liar? You tell him you’ll never leave his side And be the first thing he sees every morning. How do you love a man who values nothing but his pride? You break his walls down Even if it means demolishing brick by brick. How do you love a man who wears a heavy golden crown? You leave kisses on his neck Because it must be tired from holding up the world. How do you love a man who sees his existence as a wreck? You store his broken parts onto a shelf And tell him he can replace them with your heart. How do you love a man who doesn’t love himself? You love him— that is all there can be done So he can learn that even monsters are human.
A monster is only a monster if you call him that. (via clairewords)
