Found

I wrote this for someone who is very special and means the world to me.


Dancing on the edge
Stumble
And slip
Now i'm falling
Crash
Face first
Into a graveyard
Of all that remains
Of what I used to be
My smile is broken
My heart burned itself out
Only ashes are left
My sorry
Empty eyes
Watched it all die
I've been so betrayed
Crying
But they cannot see it
I am wouded
And scarred
No one can heal me
I have my secret
I am scared
Angry
Sad
Lonely inside
They do not deserve to know
Becoming the ghost
I never knew I could be
Floating through
Every moment
Night and day
Becoming ill
From the same sad
Sickening song
Constantly repeating in my mind
But something began change
My whole world shifted
You stood over me
Reached out your hand
Where did you come from?
I hesitated
To let you help me up
Back on my feet
You pulled me into your arms
I trusted you
Spoke to you
Of every scar
Each cut
And bruise
You saw clearly
Through eyes without judgement
And I was afraid
You cannot love me
When you've learned of all the pain
My heart could not take another break
I tried to turn away
You held me there
Speak softly
You love me
With all your heart
And soul
You won't let me down
We were made for each other
You found me
Please
Never leave
What lies in front of us
Is unknown
I believe your promise
Though
When you say
With me
You will always stay.
