Relationship anxiety

I have been with my boyfriend for a year now and my anxiety has some really bad days but he has been my rock and he has written me a few poems that i read when i am having a bad head. I thought i would share .

Monster

When you hurt the one you love, a monster is born...
A bright red fluffy thing with a mahoosive horn...
3 eyes and a mouth, a nose not in sight
a monster to cause heart ache not to cause fright...

It sets up house, just under the heart
it plays in its garden and waters the plants...
It grows all the doubts that you have in your head
and then feeds off your emotions and your feelings of dread

The monster is like a kid and just wants to play
it loves to pull on your heart strings and ruin your day
it loves to scoff all your thoughts down and wash them away

You have noticed a change in your partner as of late
he is equipped with a shield and armour of plate
He gives love and reassurance umpteen times a day
he is here to love you and scare the monster away

The monster is a fighter and wont give up,
it barricades itself in its house and keeps the door shut
It whispers through its letterbox all things you dont want to hear
still trying to feed off your weakness and fear

Your partner keeps loving and is winning the war
I love you more than anything, you are the one I adore
I promise not to lie nor hurt you again
I promise to be there forever and to be your best friend

The monster is growing tired and curls up to sleep
but the garden is still growing, the roots are dug deep
I am equipped for all manner of tasks
and will go above and beyond no matter your asks

I will keep fighting forever and a day
because 

I LOVE YOU IN EVERY WAY!!
