Seal off all the bad memories
Push them aside
And forget the loneliness
That kept you locked away

Feeling what it felt like
When sunshine touched you after so long
And you felt warm again

After letting yourself feel once more
Staying headstrong and moving forward
Never giving credence
To the pain that bound you before

Letting your past self die
So you can be born again anew

The next time dark clouds emerge again
And begin to darken your day
The beast within you will defeat the beasts
That carry doubt on their backs
Because you took all their power away
The day you understood your own strength

All you can do now is keep moving forward
Never stopping to look back

There was a space inside of me
Hidden from even myself
I didn't realize it existed
Until you came along
And then I knew

That space had been there and empty
Waiting for you because you were the perfect fit

You made me understand
That I had been empty and incomplete
For the longest time until I met you

You are my best friend, my lover, and my muse
I think there might be a point
To all of this madness we call living
If happiness like this is something true

You make me believe
Anything is possible

Watching her get ready
Staring into the mirror
Putting on her makeup
And fixing her hair
The mirror knows as I know
Of them all, she is the most fair

She is more than easy on the eyes
But her real beauty
Within the temperament of her heart it lies

She leaves an emptiness in her absence
And steals the show in her presence
There are many reasons to miss her when she is gone

She is the definition of true beauty
I love her for her
And she loves me for me

We give up
Before we understand what is at stake
Never giving our all
Too afraid to fall
It's safer when there's nothing to lose
Leaving shells of potential
A decision to choose
Yet a chance never taken
Wondering what went wrong
When it was ourselves
All along

If you were a clock
I should like to wind you up
And listen to each beautiful tick
We would depend on each other
To reach our potential
You give me a reason
To get up in the morning
And without hesitation
I would keep you going

How many sleepless nights were spent
Trying to avoid the demons that come with the night?
Bringing with them
Memories of failures and past loves
Calamity and death
Not allowing peace
For that much needed sleep

How many days were spent
Stuck in bed because dealing with the world
Didn't make any sense?
Fearful of dealing with anything
Even nothing seemed like too much

Walking through life
Like a zombie with no direction
Sense of purpose lost
When the carpet was pulled out
From under your feet

And your world came crashing down

That is why the demons haunt you
You blame yourself and are broken
Not knowing how to stand again
Because you can't tell where you belong anymore
Feeling alone more than ever

Just needing a friend to help you fight the demons
Someone to help remind you how to smile
