Salvation

 

Up until now I had no real reason to wake and to face the days,

 

No real reason to alter my life’s course or to contemplate any of my ways.

 

Each night spent in the solitary sentiments created by my own doubt,

 

Struggling with difficulty to achieve peace but yet losing every bout.

 

No remorse or regrets for all of the wrongs and all of the lies,

 

Simply a heart devoid of feelings and a life covered in darkness by grey skies.

 

All my hopes and all my wants had slipped between the cracks of sorrow,

 

But then came you, with your kind and confident views of tomorrow.

 

You managed to lift my head above the seas created by hurt and spite,

 

Becoming the comforting warmth in my winter and in my darkness, the light.

 

You held me tight and close and shed away my uncertainty and fears,

 

You whispered in my ear your words of comfort and put an end to my tears.

 

You continued to believe in me when I myself had lost all notions,

 

And you made me able to once again confide with your love and devotion.

 

For all that you have done, I can never repay or fully show my appreciation,

 

I can only say these words and show that I am thankful for you, the key to my salvation.
