For My Best Friend

I know that your eyes conceal pain,
as do mine. I know when you're alone
that pain bleeds and escapes your eyes.
Every tear is a need for self acceptance.
I know your pain, I feel your pain
inside of me. I can almost feel your tears
running down my own face.
If you only knew how much you do...
A journey to your heart is a rocky path.
One of disblief in self and self destruction alike.
Every new day is a new piece of your heart
taken from yourself. A mockery of self
and a complacency to the truth.
You need not repay, as my heart fills
with silhouettes of an inner beauty so deep.
Only one I love you makes me gaze harder
into your heart, and my travel there worth taking.
As I walk, I leave traces in hopes that I can
lead the missing pieces of you home. Or if I was
granted such a luxury, would slowly rip pieces of me
away and rebuild what is hollow in you.
You are my strength,
You are my faith,
You are my guidance,
You are the beauty that kills my pain,
You give purpose and a sense of living to me.
That is payment enough.
You are so beautiful in every way, and
I will spend a million suns reminding you.
So hold me closer, feel my thoughts, know our pain
is one and know that you are all that is best in me.
I love you.
