Flaws and All

He loved her.
Flaws and all

There wasn’t anything anyone could 
say or do to make him feel otherwise.
There wasn't anything SHE could say 
or do to make him stop.

she was all he had and he loved her;
he loved her sense of humour
the face she made whenever she 
figured something out.
the passion she had
the fire in her eyes.

Many have tried.
many have failed.
he could never see her in a different 
light but that of his imagination.
she captured his soul and wore it in a 
vile around her neck proudly

He loved how she detest people.
people doesn’t cut it.. humans. she 
detest humans.

He loved all her flaws
all her scars & dirty laundry.
he didn’t care that she had 4 kids by 
four different guys
or that she had daddy issues.

He didn’t care;
that she couldn’t start her day off 
without a little glen, jack & johnny.
he didn’t care that she wasn’t the 
“ideal” girl. she was his girl.

 

Her beauty. Oh man her beauty, he 
would walk for miles on end just to 
see that smile.
To carry her over his shoulder when 
she’s had too much to drink.
To wake up next to her in the 
morning.

 

Nobody understood why. they 
probably never will.
But she did.
He saw past the facadé

what he really saw was a little girl in a 
womans body; with little time left in 
the world. All he wanted was for her 
to have someone. For her not to leave 
the way her mother and grandmother 
left.
And their mothers before.
