You Were The One Poem by Kanishk Gupta

When I was alone
Empty as a hole
You were the one
You hugged me to your soul

When I was dying
Succumbing to my grief
You were the one
You taught me to live

When I was burning
In the sea of lies
You were the one
You trusted my cries

When I was lost
With all hopes to be found
You were the one
You guided me around

When I was wrong
And ran away from light
You were the one
You taught me what was right

When I was scared
Fearing my own rage
You were the one
You gifted me courage

Now that you are gone
I can only weep for the one
The one and the only one
I had ever called my own...
