No Light Without Darkness

Font Size

I have spent my life
Lost
Twisted
And confused
Searching for redemption
In unredeemable places
Seeking someone
Who could see what I couldn’t

I stumbled

I didn’t find you
But you found me
Hiding
Sinking

You never asked
For more than I could give
But you gave more than I
Dared ask for

You found me
Saw
Valued
And embraced me
In my imperfections

I walked around with
My heart torn from my body
Left cold and quiet before me
Unmoving

Your breath of naked words blew
Life and hope back
And shimmers of something lost
Reemerged like the sun
After a perfect storm

Your words were like
Whispers into my soul
Unlocking secrets
That were hidden
Even from me

Without you
I feared the shadows
Taking me deep
Into the abyss
Leaving me lost
And once again
Empty
