Each day I looked
harder
Each night I saw less
Each time I went farther
To stop the emptiness
The past kept coming back
The memories less clear
No matter how I saw them
They did not stop the fear
Always I was looking
For that single thing
In hopes that I would someday find
The way to ease my pain
At last something must be coming
To tame the wild inside
Perhaps I’d only wasted time
But no longer can I hide
If you’re there, call out to me
Come take me like a prize
I am now an open book
No longer wrapped in lies
I could almost feel
you before
But in regret I live
I beg of you accept this gift
Freely, my heart I give
In twilight now I lay in rest
And see a certain face
In darkness now I sleep in peace
And dream a certain place
Returning from the sorrow
Walking towards the light
I see your hand reach out to me
No longer will I fight
I’ve opened up the door
To let the newness in
And though my fears pull me down
I will not let them win
All this time I didn’t know
Just what I was searching for
But all my questions came undone
When you walked through that door
Thank you for being the answer
In darkness, you are my sun
Searching for a saving soul
You are the only one |
