Until You

Lace LaBiche 1985 (Lafayette, La)



I swam in darkness,
I've breathed in hell.
My life was broken,
My heart was frail.
I begged for love,
I begged for mercy.
I needed to be wanted,
I needed to feel worthy.

Until you.

You've brought me light,
I breathe free.
My life is whole,
My heart don't bleed.
You give me love,
You show me mercy.
You want me,
You make me worthy.

About this poem

After 20 years of a failed, painful marriage, and a childhood that broke me, I've finally gotten the love I've yearned for my entire life. This is for you, Stirlyne Brook Deneau-James.
