I met you years ago
You noticed something different then
A shadow of my former self
Darkness surrounded me
My past haunted me
You tried to understand
The pain, anger and confusion
That I was going through
Believe me I wanted to tell you
But I didn't want to hurt you
You meant so much to me
That I didn't want you
To become overwhelmed
By my perpetual sorrow
So unfortunately I said goodbye
To the love I held most dear
Leaving me helpless and hollow
Wondering if there would ever be
A better tomorrow
