calm in my chaos

you give me love, when all i’ve known is heartache…

when i’m with you, the fear begins to fade

…

I told you I’m a fire, come close and you’ll get hurt,

But you’re a calming rain, somehow my flames don’t burn.

I told you I’ve been bruised, I’m not enough to stay,

But you mended my heart, you said you’d hold my pain.

…

I showed you where I’ve bled, told you I’m too far gone,

But you kissed all my scars, and told me I’m enough.

I said I’ll sabotage, get scared and run away

But you said you’ll pursue, and that I’m worth the chase

I never knew that love could be peaceful

When all I’ve ever had is pain

I never knew the weight of all my demons

Until you came and carried them away

You love me gently,

like the morning sun,

Healing all my broken pieces

one by one.

You see the parts I hide,

And love me anyway,

Taught me what devotion is

And never walked away

I told you I’m not simple, I make loving me a chore

But you reached for my hand, said you’ll love me even more

I braced for you to leave, looked for all the signs,

You pulled me close and shut the door, then said you’ll choose me every time…

I never knew that peace could be healing

When all I’ve ever known is disarray

I never knew the fear that I carried

Until you showed me I was safe

You love me gently,

like the morning sun,

Healing all my broken pieces

one by one.

You see the parts I hide,

And love me anyway,

Taught me what devotion is

And never walked away

I try to run but you pursue,

Despite my fears, you’re breaking through.

You’re the calm in my chaos,

The comfort in my silence,

Gave me unrelenting love, when all I’ve known is violence

…

With every whispered word and gentle touch,

You teach me love that’s pure, and that’s enough.

In your eyes, I see the love you hold,

With every promise kept, you healed my soul.
