You never once
Raised your voice,
Told me to shut up,
Said I was stupid, ugly or fat,
Mocked me for anything
I said or did,
Even when I was irrational,
Emotional or argumentative.
You always made me smile
When I had nothing to smile about,
Held me when I felt I was falling,
Built me up, inside and out,
When I was slowly breaking.
You knew exactly how to kiss me,
Touch me, hold me;
I felt more beautiful and alive
Than I ever have before
Or will again.
Your love, kindness, compassion,
Intelligence, passion, humour,
Have made my unbearable existence
Wonderful; and all I've felt,
Said, written, screamed, cried,
Since you've been gone
Simply highlight everything I've lost.
