Before You

I stand here before you, broken, nude Shattered hopes, dreams, they fell apart Wanting not, but seemed to be subdued Within my hands, I hold my dying heart With feelings that I never can allude I give to you, to make it beat, to start Allowing then my life to start this day So take it, leave it not within its disarray The way you hold, it offers me a light A brilliance, strong, that serves to give so much Like hands on fire, you bring it to ignite Just by your taking and giving it your touch Offering then a future so very bright Because you have it there within your clutch Oh gentle soul, such meaning you do give Allowing me again this day to live
