for so many years of my life
I had been captured by the dark
enraptured by death
and the bliss that I knew would come
forgetting the pain in my heart
ignoring the harshness of life
retreating into my shell,
never letting anyone inside
love had become a strange feeling
a rare flutter in the stomach
and the quick beat of my heart...
the feelings that you invoked
whenever you were near
it caused my heart to leap
and my mouth to go dry
until I can't even sleep
and I can't even speak

*you pulled me out of the dark
brought me back into the light
you covered my eyes when it hurt too much,
held me close to your heart,
never letting me go
you warmed my cold soul with ur heat
and you loved me...

*you taught me how to let go
of the pain I felt inside
you showed me that life was worth living
when life had lost all meaning
you kept me from losing hope
when hope was so far away
but most of all you showed me how to love
when love was new to me
