Lexi
It takes a special kind of soul to follow me here
Yet we both stand together without a fear
I know that my pain is blacker than night
So meeting me here is like walking without sight
Only the brave will make it out alive to tell
Only the strong can find their way out of hell
There are places in our mind that can kill
Where loneliness and fear is all we'll feel
I had been lost for an eternity before you
I was at the end of my road, I was through
Hope gone, I entertained ideas of death
Heavy with shame I could barely take a breath
Then suddenly I felt a presence of love so clear
I knew somehow that you were standing near
I was no longer alone ;the weight was gone
The night faded away; making room for dawn
There are few like you; ones who are true
Ones that will come in the dark to find you
I don't know how I got to a place of such hate
But I was convinced that it was my fate
I had long forgotten that truth lived inside
I can't even remember the last time I tried
You saved me when the world had me dead
I will never forget you or the things you said
You restored my strength; I can finally fight
You renewed my belief in what is right
The hope I lost has returned inside me
Laughter fills the air and its truth i see
I owe you my life, I can never repay
I can only hope that you forever stay.
