There are times when I am left an empty shell
wallowing in the misery of my lonely hell.
The torture and suffering seems to never end;
pain in my heart and soul to never mend.
A new tear flows from worn, bitter eyes
as a new rip in my heart starts to arise.
Somewhere deep down inside -
from where I didn't even realize,
A fire burns deep, warm and true
a new life and love surrounding you.
Fear and longing takes ahold strong
I can't fight the feeling that I finally belong.
Closing my eyes to put up a fight,
believing is one thing - knowing is slight.
Finally taking a chance - that leap of faith
I can see all is confirmed with one glance at your face.
Wanting to throw all caution to the wind
allowing you to take my face in your hands.
Fighting to hold back, not wanting to go
but I can't stop the flood from my heart as it flows
Realizing I can be safe in your arms,
I give in to your wit, your smile and your charms
Realizing my heart will be cherished and loved,
I smile to my guardian angel from above.
I am ready to love and be loved again
I am ready to start a new life from within.
