Here I lay,
Night after night,
unable to fall asleep,
The only thing on my mind is you,
Your smile,
Words said in the past,
Laughs had in the past,
Laughs we will have in the future,
Words that can now be shared in a future,
All of it consumes me at night,
Taking away the sleep I desperately need,
But it’s ok,
Because you are much much a better picture then the darkness that haunts my dreams,
There’s been less and less of it since you saved me that day,
When your words brought me back from the edge,
The day that snapped me out of years of depression,
The day that has then lead me to gain love for myself,
Are there days of doubt?
Yes, some days I see the little scared child I used to be,
Yes, some days I hate my body,
Yes, some days the horrible things haunt me,
Unable to find happiness,
The horrors that have constantly haunted me,
Are now a shallow thought of the day,
Because now you are my deep thought of night,
Thank you for that day,
Thank you for being there to save me when I couldn’t save myself
