If you only knew the darkness I'd battled
I think you'd run and hide from me
And the simple sadness of that thought
Shows the light you bring to me
And I wonder can we be
Just be
Us together as We
not wondering or worrying who might see
What they see
As you look inside of me
No lie has ever passed my lips
that I thought would grace your ears
and the only regret I've ever had
are of actions that caused your tears
and though nightmares have stalked me
many nights
dancing merrily on my fears
you are the beauty in this life
among the taunting and the jeers
I am the completion of myself
I was birthed to fight my tears alone
But you are the strength that flows through me
Casting iron of my bone
You are my soul's perfect reward
Once I have reaped what I have sown
The peace your voice brings to my heart
The greatest perfection I've ever known
So I walk along beside you
Behind you
Where ever you need me to be
So we can dance together and fly away
Towards sunsets through the trees
Us forever together simply as We
Never worrying who might see
What they see
As you look inside of me
My heart screams this truth
As it beats for you inside of me
We'll survive it all if I can be
What you see
when you look inside of me

Thank You!
Thank You for Your entry: Inside of Me
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and after reading several times ~
I'm Honored also Humbled You took the time to pen for my contest
You took the prompt and brought forth much for the Mind to feast upon~
Bravo!! When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard~
Woven Strengths: Wow~ Now this swells the eyes~ and while I was reading-
kept seeing images of a puzzle but for some reason one piece missing~
I keep seeing this over and over again~
and then seeing a hand holding this puzzle piece-
After reading again~ I am shown dough~ being rolled by a rolling pin and then
cookies cut out~ and then put in the oven~ However that is to be Interpreted
I am shown words: Light and Day~ However that is to be Interpreted
At first I thought it was Night and Day but was getting
...it was Light
and Day
I am shown phrase: Things have a way of working itself out~ and shown
laundry hanging on the clothesline~ as if a Metaphor
(like cleansing- airing things out- starting fresh etc)
However that is to be Interpreted.
You give the Reader much to think about
Love the direction You took with this prompt
Hopefully my comment to Your write makes sense
Powerful verse and message You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
Once I have reaped what I have sown
The peace your voice brings to my heart
The greatest perfection I've ever known
Vivid Imagery poured in these lines...
Thank You for sharing Your Talent also Voice
also best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
Many blessings too 
with much love and light~ Desire~*~
