“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe

Your lullaby that you sing
Is perfect to me
Your voice as you say “Darling”
Shows me that you love me

Before I found you,
I was forever in darkness.
My dreams were full of death
My life filled with despair

You have showed me, the real me,
the beautiful me.
My world now
is a beautiful place
the smell of cherries in the air
and no longer filled with despair

My amazing boyfriend Jordan was my inspiration for this. This poem explains my life before and after meeting him.
