The scars stand out against my tanned skin
Thin pale lines carved into my wrists
Do you remember only months ago how i wished to die?
I was tired of waiting for something i thought would never come
I was ready to throw it all away
But you wouldn't let me go that easy
Though I was already so numb
Perhaps your words were the only thing that kept me here
You love, the only thing that bound me to this Earth
Maybe i thought, just maybe
I could face reality with you by my side
Angel, there is nothing i can do to show my gratitude
There are no words to express the love i feel for you
No colors in this world to paint a picture of my joy
Nothing i can do for the one who saved my life
I thought the tears would wash away the pain inside my heart
I thought the lines of crimson blood
Could forgive all of my sins
But even at my darkest your words could dry my tears
They shone light into my world of everlasting darkness
They brought the warmth that pushed away the cold
You gave me wings when mine had been clipped
Tattered and destroyed
You restored my halo to me
And gave me back my innocence
You showed me how to smile again
You taught me how to laugh
With the greatest gift of hope, you brought the sparkle back to my eyes
And though I'm still not perfect
At least i am alive
