Almost Saved

I was ready to go
Ready to leave
I knew no one would miss me
Atleast that's what I believed

But then something happened
Something changed my mind
You came into my life
And I knew it wasn't my time

You gave me a reason to stay
A reason to live
I was happy I had you
I gave you everything I had to give

You were there for me 
You gave me your heart
I was glad we were together
But then everything fell apart

Now I'm all alone
And no one's here to save me
Atleast I had you for awhile
I guess it wasn't meant to be

Now I'm ready to leave this world
I have said all my goodbye's
All that is left for me to do now
Is to lay down and close my eyes

A sad and beautiful piece that also shows the power and ability of love to bring life and joy to a painful situation.

Interesting write, definately in the subject matter I enjoy. A love found bringing a reason for life and then it disappears.
