Will You Stay With Me?

Will you stay with me in the shattered room of my mind, where shadows dance with the remnants of a shattered past? When my heart, once a fortress of grief and silent screams, now trembles at the edge of a fragile hope.

Will you stay when my nights are filled with ghosts of bruises unseen? When echoes of the past cruelly haunt my dreams, and in this moment, when the fragile sanctuary of healing feels both exhilarating and terrifying.

Will you be there to remind me that the sun still rises, that the shadows of yesterday do not dictate the light of tomorrow? I need to know if your love can withstand the tremors of my nights, where every rustle of the wind feels like a whisper of fear.

Will you stay when the days are a whirlwind of trembling hands and fragmented memories? When I struggle to remember how to breathe, and when every mundane task feels like a challenge I cannot undertake?

Will you see past the cracks in my facade and hold me, not with pity, but with the understanding that healing is not a straight path, and my struggle is not a burden but a show of my strength?

Will you stay when the echoes of blame and shame rear their heads, whispering that I am undeserving of peace? When every step towards self-love feels like an uphill task, and the mirror reflects a face marked by years of scars and pain?

Will you stand beside me, even when I falter and doubt my worth, offering your belief in the person I am becoming, even when I cannot see her myself?

Will you stay when my moments of rage burst forth like storms unleashed when the anger of years of confinement spills over uncontrollably? When my words cut deeper than intended, and my voice shakes with the fury of a lifetime spent voiceless.

Will you offer patience and compassion, knowing that beneath the storm lies the heart of someone desperately seeking peace?

Will you stay when my tears flow freely, not as symbols of weakness but as rivers of healing? When every cry is a release, a shedding of the chains that bound me for so long? Will you hold me through the flood, reassuring me that tears are not a sign of fragility but of strength to finally come?

Will you stay with more than just a promise of companionship? With the assurance that my past will not overshadow my future and that the scars of yesterday will not determine my worth today.

Will you just stay through every storm and calm, through every shadow and light?
