So many times she’s been knocked down
Left all alone there on the ground
Cold and trembling upon the floor
Is this all that Fate has in store?
She longs to hope, too scared to try
But then that look within his eye
Begs her to take just one more chance
Fall in his arms, give him this dance
Though she has wounds that may never heal
Deep within she continues to feel
Time moves on and the days pass by
And with each there’s less tears to cry
Little by little, her hope renewed
But deep within it remains subdued
Waiting so patient for the day
That all her doubts will go away
She dreams to hope once again
To feel something deep within
For numbness and cold to finally pass
No longer to just look through the glass
At a world happy and content
To finally feel that she is meant
To feel all the things that others feel
To finally know what it is to heal
Free her now from this prison within
Release her from the pain that has been
Holding her soul and crushing her heart
Giving her hope to tear it apart
Let her find the solace she needs
That shred of hope for which she pleads
Though she’s broken and her view left jaded
There’s a light within that’s not yet faded
Give her a chance to rekindle the fire
So that upon those flames she can fly higher
As they consume the past and the pain
And within their heat melt every chain
Never again will she be taken
To a place where she is forsaken
The darkest clouds they come and go
What each day brings we never know
But darker days carry such fear
Bringing storms that are so severe
Making brighter days seem so far
From the lonely place where we are
On the horizon there’s no light
But in time it will shine so bright
Show her no mercy, spare her no pain
Take the last of what has kept her sane
Take the light and the solace it gives
Leave her now in this darkness that lives
With its breath hot upon her neck
And eyes just a shimmering speck
She hears it’s steps moving so quick
Or is that noise just her mind’s trick
She no longer knows what’s real or not
Within this web of life that she’s caught
A simple touch that can take my breath
And give all my doubts a bitter death
Longing for the feel of your skin
Silently begging deep within
The trace of your fingers upon my arm
And all of my defenses you disarm
The taste of your lips upon my own
Sweeter than anything that I’ve known
But though your love has been my salvation
I fear it may yet be my damnation
So prove me wrong and hold me near
Show me I have nothing to fear
I hate to let you see me weak
Those times that my world feels so bleak
When I fall to a place I hate to be
Lost in my mind as I fall to my knee
But this private hell grows smaller each day
When by my side you insist you will stay
And as I look up I see your hand
As it reaches out to help me stand
In all the days that have gone by
So many nights alone to cry
But so many days that lay ahead
That to her surprise she does not dread
She will not face those days alone
In her heart a new light has shone
Like the morning sun as it rises
Each moment filled with more surprises
An unknown world coming to light
That’s so full of joy shining bright
She thought she died that night not so long ago
As she felt her heart begin to beat so slow
But it was in a deep slumber that she fell
For what had died that night was only her hell
But in every bleakest night that she has survived
There shone a light promising she would be revived
And that light she has finally reached despite it all
Back into the truest love of her life did she fall
