She once thought,
she wanted to be a poet,
but deep down,
she knew,
she wanted to be a poem.

There he was
Awakening her soul
A soul that had taken
Hit after hit
That had been so damaged
She couldn't believe
The way it lurched forward for him
She touched her face
Just to make sure her smile was real
And to her surprise it was
Was he real
Oh his touch was
Where had this man been
All those lonely nights
Her dreams she figured
And somehow once again
She has found hope
Hope in a forever
Oh she feared he'd leave
Like everyone before him
But she needed those smiles
So she held on
And maybe
Just maybe
She's found her forever.

Somewhere
In the thick vines
I have found new life
And he breathed into me
And suddenly
I remembered
The sweetness in simple things
In sunsets
In being wrapped in warmth
In smiling
Somewhere
Past the thorns
The blood and pain
I have found
A new beginning
And it will be great
And it will be forever.
