Being his sunlight through the trial
TW: mentions of abuse, rape, general Depp v Heard trial stuff
He didn't even think he'd find love through the whole shit show. Being called a wife beater, a rapist.. What person would want to go near him?
You. You did. You saw him at a bar, and while you'd been defending him online, you knew better than to talk about it to his face.
You made him feel like a human rather than a circus attraction, and he slowly lets you in.
You're such a stark contrast to his ex-wife.. Your touch is the most gentle thing he's ever experienced. You trace every scar she left, you kiss each one, so that it's filled with your love instead of her abuse.
You hold him when he has nightmares, gently soothe him back to sleep.
You help him get undressed when the day was just too heavy to bear. There's no sexual intent behind your actions, just love.
You cry for him, with him. And when the trial's over, you two celebrate with a nice home cooked dinner and a glass of wine.
You're beaming when he moves on, focusing the rest of his energy, love, and creativity into all forms of art.
And you smile everyday because he never fails to make you feel as special as you made him feel.
You lay your head on his shoulder while he plays guitar. He lets you sit on his lap while he paints the finishing details on his latest painting. When he's on set, whether as the actor or the director, you're bringing him lunch, and he makes you stay for the entire lunch break, feeding you, his free arm around your shoulders.
This is what love is supposed to be. Not abuse and manipulation. Not nights spent in a cold bed. It's you, brushing your fingertips across his skin and telling him that he deserves a fulfilling life.
𝐀/𝐍 I've seen a resurgence of Amb*r H**rd supporters, it feels very cult like, I'll be honest. But with that resurgence, I want to say something serious. If you are a victim- man, woman, anything in between or out of that binary, use your voice. It's terrifying, I know it is. But use your voice. If anyone needs to talk, my DMs are open. And for those on the opposition, on Heard's side, look within yourself.
Now, I always have to say this, but I don't think Johnny Depp is a saint, but he's definitely not an abuser, a misogynist, a rapist, whatever you want to call him.
