Description
Before I stood
Alone in a crowd
Surrounded by my walls
Protected by my insecurities

I trusted few, and still do now
I tried as hard as I could not to cry
I was trying to be strong when others needed me
Even though when below the surface
I was dying like everyone else
To have someone to listen to my problems
And to have someone help me in their own little way

I held a tough face
And would not let it down
I hid my feelings from everyone
Because I felt it made me feel weak and feeble.

I hid my life from those around me
No-one needed the burden of my problems
No-one needed to know what I have seen

But that was then
And its not how I feel now.

I'm stronger, more secure, and I can fight back the demons that made me that way.
I can fight against the feelings that pulled me down behind those dark walls.
I feel the venom in my blood start to drain
And my heart start to breathe life again.

But what has brought me out of this?
The shadows of my past
What has brought me out of this?
The nightmares of my present?

One person
With three true words
A heart stronger then the midnight tempest
Wings hidden from those who choose not to see
And the personality and caring that could only be found in you.

You've showed me that its ok to cry
You've shown me a whole different life
You've helped break down my fences
And find what’s behind the door
You've done all that
And so much more

And then it makes me wonder...
What did I ever do to deserve someone like you.

Your so perfect in your own little ways
You can always make people smile
Even when you don't say anything at all.
You care for me
Though there is probably someone more worthy then I,
Who could earn the privilege more then me.

What in the world made you look at me the way you do
Reading my heart with your sapphire gaze
How could you choose someone like me
Hiding behind the lies to keep away the painful truth.

How could you fall for someone like me?
How could I fall for someone like you?
Weird how these situations arise
But things like this happen for a reason.

What that reason is and why it happened
We may never understand
So with this I close my piece
And end it with something simple.

Thank you for showing me how to live once again
And may you take flight with your wings soon.
