Voices shouting in my mind Each one screaming "it's alright, you're fine for tonight" The love that was promised was never felt One lie after another, shredding me deeper Reaching my core and breaking me down And they all wonder why I do nothing but frown The days pass then weeks and months Nothing seems to get better, darkness closing Then you came along, shattering the walls around I smiled, I began heal You became a shield Protecting me from the seen and unseen You promised love and I felt it surrounding Finally, for once a truth that was needed In that moment, everything would be alright
