Wally & Artemis - Acceptance
"You crashed into my world,
A streak of red and yellow,
That it all started with a single arrow.
But perhaps it was no surprise ,
You thought I didn't belong there,
You thought I was second prize.
An event filled with magic,
You were told to find a Spitfire,
The advice followed by something tragic.
On the day I woke beside you,
In a land of blistering heat,
Even though we had no memory,
That day you swept me off my feet.
Once again you surprised me,
In a land of chilling snow,
Even when you thought that I was gone forever,
You weren't willing to let me go.
I thought you were a fool,
And that you'd never understand,
But you took me by surprise,
When you suddenly took my hand.
Though I never knew the word,
Something small but sweet,
And suddenly I felt heard.
It hurt me to disappoint you,
More than you could ever know,
Please know I have my demons,
Ones that follow me where I go,
Ones that were eating me away,
Despite my fear I laid it bare,
And in the end you stayed."
Something I wrote a few years ago. Found it again recently.
