I was blind before you

by AynJal   Dec 19, 2005


Maybe I was blind
Because somewhere in the darkness
There is a light
That I couldn't find
Someway, from my only fear
You saved me
Now I'm not supposed to be scared of anything
But this had grown out of hand
Something I hope you never have
To understand
It's hard now, for me to even comprehend
All the things you watched
Me put myself through
And I think I saw it too

Alone in the greatest pain
Watched me suffer over and over again
And you felt, there was nothing you could do
Even though, like everyone else, you could tell
To many times I almost fell
Pushing away any idea of asking for help
I tried to keep it under control
But my attempts were too slow
And I was starting to lose hope

What was it you had said to me
This isn't how it should be
Your words I had held close
Closer then I thought you could see
They were stronger then those
Who had walked away, pushed away, given up
Told me they had to stop
I was too close minded, to dependent on luck
Where would I go in the end?
Could I continue to pretend I was okay
That I would live through one more day
When would it be that I broke down
Crumple to the ground
My heart never found
Who would hold me as I cried
Listen to the truth behind my lies
Help find
The answers to the questions I had tried
To answer on my own
And it was over the phone
I felt I wasn't a failure
A voice, and the words I heard
It wasn't my time to quit
Things took a moment to sit
There was more to it all
Then I had been told
Not everything was this cold
My well being had not yet been sold
And the warmth that I felt
In the middle of a frozen hell
Stood there on the edge
Stayed there
Until I finally fell
Catching onto my hidden self

Suddenly a memory of what I missed
Corrupted my deepest thoughts And wouldn't leave until I noticed it
That had been when
My mind opened
Wide enough to let you in
A feeling of the sweetest sin

Filled with what had been so empty inside
And when we embraced for the first time
My lonliness was swept away
I remember that day
A moment was given
To decide my future
It was now or never
And looking back at us being together
I climbed the extra step up
Let go of what I needed to let go of
Realized just how stuck
And manipulated I really was
The other world of me
The positive person I had once been
You finally set free
My appreciation for you
And all that you had to do
Just to push through
There's so much that I owe
So many things I want you to know
You made sure I wasn't alone

And I can make an honest promise
That I will dedicate myself to this
This feeling I give you
And you know I feel it too
Is something I swear we'll never lose...
