Then you came along

I can remember growing up in a household of pain and screaming.
Always wanting to run away far into the distance.
Until recently there was nothing keeping me in this place.
Then you came along.
My heart had been broken.
Mended then broken again.
So much it became a cycle.
The scars started getting worse.
I was afraid my heart would never heal again.
Then you came along.
I was starting to give up on life.
I couldn't find a purpose to keep going on.
My life was starting to fade away.
Then you came along.
You took my hand and showed me the way.
Showed me happiness I never thought existed.
Slowly the stiches in my heart started to dissolve.
You showed me what it was to be treated like a princess.
And to have some one who cared.
But best of all you showed me love.
