Contrast

There are not enough words in the English dictionary
to describe who I was before I met you
If I could choose one word, and one word only
to describe the depth of my despair-
Broken

Mistreated and betrayed multiple times,
of no worth to anyone it seemed
Light at the end of the tunnel
would had to of come from magic,
not a soul in sight could make it appear

I've fallen flat on my face on several occasions,
lost interest in making dreams come true
Sinful nature arose from my being
As my identity completely changed,
I weakened

As I questioned many thoughts,
Who does turn caterpillars into butterflies?
Do rainbows appear in only virgin eyes?
You showed up with answers I've never heard,
I became a believer again

There are too many words for me to describe,
just how I feel when I'm with you
If I could choose one word, and one word only
to describe how I feel when I'm with you-
Fortunate

My heart finds motivation in little things,
to achieve and be the best I can be
No limits no boundaries,
shoot for the moon
I've found hope while spending time with you

My longing of being loved is here,
it is here in your heart, in your touch, your prayers
I've picked myself up, healed my wounds,
now I found comfort and rest while holding you
I believe in love once again
