You speared me from the depths;
piercing my wound.
You pulled me up from below;
how I hated you.
I could feel every tug,
I was broken.
But your light showed me love
and I took it.
Sinking couldn’t heal,
breaking made me whole.
My heart needed to shatter
so that you could give me yours.
You can’t unbreak the broken,
but you can build something new.
And with your help I realized
all I needed was you.
