You bottled up my bruises
Took pictures of my scars
You made sure to remember
Every torn and tattered mar
How could you be so cruel
And abuse my fainting soul
Keeping memoirs of my dying hope
To view this gaping hole
He kissed all my sorrows
And bottled every tear
He cherished all my secrets
And promised to stay near
He held me in my anguish
And loved me in the dark
He held me lest I perish
For his love too left a mark
An everlasting goodness
etched firm across my soul
Always to remind me
In Him I'm finally whole.
