I showed you my blood stained hands; And you held them. You saw my teeth bared, My fists clenched, Yet your eyes gazed into mine with the same love. You saw me filled with rue and vengeance; And you still embraced me with warmth. You saw me ruined, like an old tumbledown building; And you picked all of me. You saw me at my worst; And yet your hands never slipped away.
