For so long I was lost in the shadows
I was living a never-ending nightmare
My heart beated with pain
Everything breath was torture
Tears fell, blurring my vision
Body shook out of control
Hands as cold as ice
I needed some escape
I needed some relief
So with one tiny slash I felt release
Anger running through my head
Emotions killing me
I would have rather been dead
Tried to fix this all myself
Put my heart on the back of a shelf
Lost myself in a coma,
But I was conscious
Felt so dead, although I was living
Lack of energy, nothing more could be given
Drove myself right over the ledge
Waiting to be pushed over the edge
The more I begged and the more I pleaded
The more I found myself bleeding
Searching for a light in my world of complete darkness
Holding my heavy heart in my hands
Dragging me down like an anchor
Sinking under the surface
Drowning in my own ocean of tears
Completely lost in my world of fears
I was so lost and so broken inside
That was when I hit rock bottom
No where left more negative to turn
Nothing left of my soul to burn
I hit the cold hard ground holding the bloody knife
I wanted nothing more than to end my life
But as I was lying there I heard this sound....
someone begging me to get up off the ground
They were there to comfort me and to hold me tight
Wanted me to be happy and to be alright
So I got up and cleaned off the dust
Finally I learned to be able to trust
and that angel, is everything to me
He's the one that made me finally see
He took my heart in his gentle hands and made it whole
and in that moment, alive came my soul
He put that smile, that for so long was lost, back on my face
Made me feel that this wasnt just a race
and for the first time, in the longest time,
He made me feel that I was fine
No more need for that release
He made the pain of everything cease
With him in my life I do not need the knife
He makes me feel happy, he makes everything alright
We all need people like that in our lives. Mine just so happen to be my friend Justin Freedman, but I won't go into that....
