Awaken

You have given me something that is even greater then the gift of life
You have given me a heart that is filled with love and knows no hate
You have poured out you soul to this great abyss of a human that I call myself
You have shown me that even with everything that happens I am still the one that has control over my own life

Are you not the best thing that's ever happened to me?
Are you not an angel that walks on this dried land I call a body?
Are you never tired of the walls that I break down only to build them up again?
Are you you not the reason that I am still able to open my eyes and to feel the kiss of the Sun?

Patiently I have waited for death to come take me
Unexpectedly you removed me from the shadows that were in my heart and set me free
Repeatedly you give me a joy that is beyond all other joys 
Eventually my time will come but you my love continue to be my entire life
