I am your ruin

My feet light as a cat’s

I tiptoed in to your life

fascinated by all you have endured

mesmerized by the depth of your character

captivated by the boundlessness of your heart

I stayed in your life

I was the cool breeze

you have been looking for your whole life

I was your strength when the seas were rough

I was your sunshine

when the darkness of storms fell

I will always be your private heaven

filling your heart with happiness

like you have never known before

soothing you like no one has ever soothed

nurturing you and loving you like you are meant to be

I am and will be your everything

But I will never be yours

being everything you have wished for yourself

I have ruined you for everyone else

being your sun, the brightest star in your sky

I have ruined your appetence for the other stars

and blinded you for the beauty of the moon

loving you like no other

I have ruined your chance of being content

with a lesser kind of love

I am everything that you have ever wanted

but I am not yours to take

I am the downfall of normalcy as you have known it

I am your ruin.
