Why do you love me, I ask.

What do you see in me?

Am I worth all that you risk?

Am I who you think I am?

I don’t know myself anymore.

I was once a young girl with dreams.

Today I am a spectre of her

And am being revived from the dead.

You will never truly fathom

what you stand for in my life

you are my heart, my love, my life.

You are oxygen and more.

I had chloroformed my feelings;

Kept them in limbo for posterity.

You uncorked them and brought them to life,

Rejuvenated, revived, renewed me.

Now give me time to find my form

To come to life yet again.

Give me love and accept me

Walk by me through my days.

I am as if Reborn.
