My Darkness Meets The Light

I was so lost and confused,
Never saw the way,
To stop this chosen path and
Keep these thoughts at bay.

For a darkness from my past
Had returned to me,
My blade had taken over,
Death was all I'd see.

It was you who I found but
Only just in time,
To save me from myself and
To stop my last crime.

You helped me to stop and see,
Made me realize,
That the way to get through this
Was not my demise.

For you I put down this knife,
I won't try again,
You have helped so much to show
The cure's not my pain.

After everything you've seen,
Knowing what I've done,
It just means so much to me
That you didn't run.
