She needed someone who knew how to love her demons

He needed someone that could understand his darkness

She needed someone that could hold the broken little girl she hid inside of her

He needed someone that could adore the innocent child inside of him

She needed someone to show her that she was perfect as she was

He needed someone to show him that he was more than enough

Her mind was covered in scars

His heart was covered in barbwire

Her body was broken and falling apart

His soul was shattering and slipping away

They're spirits were both crushed and afraid

Self-isolating and retreating into the dark abyss of unconscious realities

She needed to hear "you are loved"

He needed to hear "I love you"

They both needed to experience the connection with a real soul- endlessly searching amidst the fog in the black hole of life

She was a crumbling piece of art

That he found astonishing beauty in

He was a rusting antique

That she found to be a great treasure

They needed each other

And that is the beauty inside of darkness

The act of two tinted, broken souls

Finding each other in the middle of nothingness

To create their own light

Is the most beautiful composition fate could ever try to make
