I was traveling in darkness,
holding hands with the grim keeper.
then you came along
and the clouds parted ways,
the sun finally shined onto the scars embedding my forearm.
I saw the person I used to be;
a lost soul who wanted nothing more than to be 6 feet under.
But you helped me find myself.
you helped me finally envision a tomorrow;
something I thought I could not experience.
you made me believe love truly does exist,
and I realized I wouldn't know love
if I hadn't decided to entangle
my fingers into yours
and let go
of the grim keeper's.
