In the dead of night
You consume my mind
All these years
I have been so blind
I gave up hope
I simply gave in
Downward my spiral
I would begin
I found peace in blood
Contentment in anger
Only to find
I had become a stranger
I was no longer myself
That had drifted away
Tied down by nothing
No reason to stay
Tears couldn't find me
I lived in my head
Convinced the world would be better
If only I were dead
I came up with a plan
In the dead of night
Going over each detail
To make sure I'd get it right
I wrote off everyone
No point if I was leaving
Only now do I realize
How only me, I was deceiving
You came back for a visit
I said it was only one day
I could still go through with it
After all, you wouldn't stay
But once again, I was wrong
You stayed just for me
I said I was to broken
But you helped me see
You filled me with joy,
You gave me hope
Pulled me up, off the ground
Showed me how to cope
The tears finally came
But you said it was okay
You mended my shattered pieces
Gave me a reason to stay
You consumed me with love
And my smile appeared
The black fog began to lift
And my misery cleared
You've given so much
You gave me back my life
I was so gratefully blessed
When you took me as your wife
I know where I belong
It's always next to you
No matter where I am
Just know it to be true
So even though you're not here
You will always be missed
And I will long await
For our very next kiss
I will continue to think of you
Yearning for you to stay
But know I will awake
To you the next day
And though I miss you
In the dead of night
For once in my life
Everything is alright.
