Each night I died, sleep slowly overtaking my brain. And each morning I woke and would lie there so disappointed at the very act of waking, my tiny deaths only temporary. I struggled to move, bound by the weight of my demons sitting in my lungs until, with a lengthy sigh, I'd breath them out and force myself up. Each night I fall, sleeping soundly in knowing that I am cared for. And each morning I wake and bound up, bursting with energy and the need to press my lips to your. I'm so grateful to have another day, more chances to be caressed by the sound of your voice. I am weightless, and I let out a content sigh, not wanting to get up only because I have found perfection in your arms.

Then and Now
Life is such a scary thing Oh, to simply think... I was happy once A braced smile And clumped mascara With positivity and self confidence I was happy then I loved myself And I was determined in all I did Refusing to let anyone down I was happy then A fake smile With no makeup and no self-esteem Seeing no point in trying to hide my ugly face I wish I was happy again I hate myself And I can't do anything right All I do is let people down I wish I was happy again Death is not such a scary thing But then I met him... I think I might be happy now

Am I truly happy?
the day shone when you filled your lungs with the breath of my love so long ago but my thoughts visit you from time to time and I see how I have changed
