It hasn't even been a week <br />Since you entered my life and yet, <br />I'm terrified to lose you. <br />It's been a while since I met someone <br />Who can make me feel safe and calm me <br />When I let my mind take control of me. <br />The distance is far and the times together are short <br />But cherished like are cherished like a new born. <br />The strength you show is breath taking, and yet invisible <br />To your own eyes at times and I just want to shake you, <br />Wake you and tell you; your strength is invincible. <br />When the moments haunt me of my past and my eyes flood with tears <br />Of shame and disgust, you wipe them from my eyes and show me <br />The light that is shining on a new day. <br />You're precious, like your name <br />And that gem; your heart, that I yearn to keep whole, safe and strong. <br />This poem goes to you; the girl whose past keeps her up at times <br />The girl whose strength is jaw dropping yet invisible to herself <br />The girl who brings joy to so many people by just flashing a smile <br />And to the girl who is still an innocent, beautiful, person. <br /> <br />Dedicated to Gemma Michelle Schwab<br /><br />Kailee Falvo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-precious-gem/
