Personality Traits

I didn’t grow up fatherless

The complete opposite to be completed honest

I had too many fathers thrown my way in my whole 21 years

And I find myself drawn to the small things I’ve taken from each of them

in you

You’re stubborn

Full of empathy

Consumed by sadness

Taken by madness

Devoured by another lover

You’re broken like they all have been

Although there is more

A bit of something that no one has

Yet I can only describe as an awakening in me

Something that has completely destroyed my sense of reality

My entirety has been engulfed by you

Your being

Soul and body

I thought if I found the things my mother found in a man that it would help me find the something that I thought I needed

I was both wrong and right

I needed to find you

To know you

To know me

To know that I needed to love me to love you

This was something that no one could teach me

I had to learn

And I thank you for teaching me

By allowing me to love you
