I have asked my God in the dark of night,
To help my pain and ease my plight!
I have always fought this fight alone,
Only me to support me, no-one at home!
So I trundled through the thicket alone and sad,
Supported myself and accept the problems I had!
But the thicket got thicker by the year;
And all my life seemed riddled in fear!
But on I walked through this thicket and dense,
While trying to deal with it, but it didn't make sense!
I looked to my left, looked to my right,
But there was no-one to help me in my plight!
All I ever wanted and needed was someone to be there;
To share my anguish and show me they care!
But I never had anyone at home to whom I could tell;
For my life at home was a living hell!
But I had to stay loyal and not break a heart!
While inside I was dying, life was tearing me apart!
I gazed to the left, gazed to the right,
Asking for strength to help ease my plight!
But the thicket was dense, as dense as could be;
No gap to show me if there was any light to see!
So I stayed loyal and true, and never said a word,
Even if I had, would anyone have heard or cared?
I would take one battle on board and do my best;
To help me through, another harsh test!
But I just needed to talk to someone about my fear;
But there was never anyone, or no-one could hear!
So I decided my fate was to be alone in my plight,
At least then I could unburden in the dark of night!
Without anyone roaring at me; ‘what the hell's up with you!'
Tell me this, why is that, because I haven't a clue!
I would go to bed at night and hug my pillow of tears,
Talk to my mate Fred, and tell him my fears!
He listened to me every night, and never did complain!
And every time I needed to cry, Fred was there again!
And that was the pattern of my life in my trials and pain,
Always it was only loyal Fred to talk to, again and again!
So I moved out and away and got myself a life!
With no roaring and shouting, no trouble and strife!
And determined in my mind I would be alone for life!
I didn't want to meet anyone, didn't want to be anyone's wife!
So my path was set, I had deemed my fate!
And in the troubled head of mine, all men did I hate!
Then it came to pass I met a wonderful man one bright day;
He popped into my heart; and he's here to stay!
And I can tell him my fears, and tell him my pain…
And he listens and cares, and listens over and over again!
He doesn't judge me for my sorry life of woe and strife,
More, he listens, talks and loves me, and now shares my life!
He snuck in one bright day and melted this man hating heart!
And just like that, he brought me a brand new start!
And so I tell him my pain, and my fears and strife;
While he soothes me and calms me and will for life!
He hasn't got any issues on my health or my pain!
And when I'm really chronic, he supports once again!
It seems strange that I can do this, tell anyone my life;
I'm used to dealing with it alone, all the pain and strife!
And now I can share it, and tell it, and oh but he's great!
He was sent to me by God to care for me, it was certainly fate!
And so now I have a life like I should have had before!
Only then I didn't, it was always a closed un-obliging door!
I was smacking my head against this huge brick wall!
No-one to support me, no-one to answer my call!
But then I met Rich, and oh what a man he is too!
Were I'm concerned there's nothing he wont do!
His ears are ready any time I need them to be!
His shoulders and calming support and lift me!
He's my support and brick wall now; I talk to him all the time!
He has made my life complete, this fantastic man of mine!
And I was taught a strong lesson when this man came to stay!
That's never judge all by one! For this isn't the way!
He took me into his heart and keeps it as safe as can be;
Guides and helps me in everyway that he can possibly see!
I fell for him hard, as hard as I would imagine it could be!
I just never thought this kind of goodness would happen for me!
And so now the man-hater in me is gladly no more!
For I walked out of my darkness, through a bright new door!
And as long as I live and breathe, I have to tell it from my heart;
I'll never break his heart, or make him sad; this is our new start!
And nor will he break mine, for we are not made that way!
We will love each other unconditionally, all our lifelong day!
