Where once the darkness prevailed
the love you brought has availed
me of my ever present oppression.
Silent hours spent in the torment of reliving
and never finding strength for self-forgiving
had cast me into that deep depression.
Your presence here has somehow changed
without reprisal you have rearranged
the chaos of my self-denial.
You made me see the futility
of running from life and reality
a constant feeling of being on trial.
There were times I would try to justify
sat here idle as time passed me by
yet now I sense the ever present loneliness.
It took you entering my non-existent being
kindness and patience a sense of freeing
and finally you brought me happiness.
