to barrett

and all the things you fear hold their hands in front of your face and you are cowering as you await the beating you think you so deserve. darling, you aren't who you think you are. i wish i could show you what you look like through my eyes and i wish i could take your hand in mine and trace your worth; you deserve so much more than this. stay, don't leave me, and please just don't waste away. i couldn't take it: no one relates so well to my pain and experiences the way you do, and no one else so honestly writes the words that echo in my own head. all the love in the world isn't enough.

just stay. it will be ok; i swear to you, it will be ok.
