Breath of Love

Breath of Love

My life held no meaning.
Hating what I'd see.
I didn't love myself.
I hated me.

I didn't see the good-I only saw the bad.
My deep routed hate was all that I had.

"Please take my life"
I'd scream in my head.
Just end all the pain.
Just leave me for dead.

You treated me bad-you were very unkind.
But because of you, it'd be me I would find.

The cloud has lifted and no longer above.
I have discovered ME-I discovered love.

I now love myself and always will.
My soul is healing-no longer ill.

A breath of love now fills the air.
For it is ME that I will forever care.

My heart still aches-which normally does.
But I will never return to what once was.
