Life has knocked me down more than once
And it feels like it does so every few months
The years pass
And I still feel like I'm on my ***.

I wanted help, I wanted someone to tell
But that just put me through hell.
When I thought it was all better
My soul released its longing tether

A man I once knew, to teach me better
Left my life and my side forever.
I didn't know what I was to do.
You can't tell me it wouldn't have wounded you.

When I tried reaching out no one was there
All I could do was sit, and stare.
My mess of a life was too much to bare
If only you were to have seen me there.

When something emerged from the dust.
A future in which most would lust.
I now see the beautiful woman the mess made
I admire her and this time I won't let her fade.
