Saved

Sitting here with tears flowing,
freely from my eyes.
I wish I could pull on a mask,
or another disguise.

I don't want anyone to know me,
the person I've become.
This person I've turned into,
I want to run from.

Run as fast as I can,
at the speed of light.
Running away from terror,
away from fright.

I've fooled everyone,
using this false smile.
I've figured out something,
it hides my pain for a while.

The problem is huge,
yet I have nowhere to run.
No one cares anymore,
I think my life is done.

Would anyone cry?
Would anyone care?
Would anyone even realize,
If I'm not longer there?

Then you came along,
my light in the dark.
Through that long tunnel,
you were my shining spark.

You were there for me,
you talked me through it all.
You made sure that above everything,
that I wouldn't fall.

You saved me from myself,
something no one else has ever done.
You taught me to love myself,
and the person that I've become.

There isn't another human in this world,
that even slightly compares to you.
You are one in a million and a great friend,
for this I thank you.

Dedicated to Aaron, my best friend.
