I was one.
Depending on me.
No other person, could really see.
See the me who fought to just breathe
See the me who dreamed of death...
Just wanting to leave.
A tough little girl, intimate with hate
Shielded by spite and hidden safely
Behind a sarcastic steel gate.
Defensive radar primed, ready for the alert
But you slipped passed my guard...
And it didn't hurt.
When I fell for you, I hit hard
I never looked back,
As you stole my heart.
With your wounded wings
You helped me take flight
I found your love true
Nothing to fight.
Then God took you, leaving me
Alone again but now with responsibilty.
Two precious pieces of you left behind
Our children are the reasons I haven't died.
Pain has enveloped my heart once again
Some days are so rough
I don't even pretend.
My death would surely bring me to you
We could dance and be as good as new
Our kisses would erase the time inbetween
And the lessons you taught me...
...Would hold no meaning.
I was one.
Your love saved the mess of me.
