Polar Bear

Niamh Griffiths

I saw beastly
enamel white
failure to comply
while you saw only beauty
in a crooked smile.
I was defiant
in disbelieving your truth
blinkering my eyes
away from the good
that you found within
the cracked spine of a book
when I saw only broken
like me.
You built trust
through kindess and care
while I built barricades
on foundations of
despair.
But you never left
you stayed
in my ears
like a prayer.
You took something
that brought me nothing
but pain
and named it your
'Polar Bear'.
