Reborn

(6/11/12) I have been reborn for my life had been Broken , shattered, and torn. No future could I see Till the day you came into me. You opened my eyes to everything around Including the people “ I had put down”. You opened my heart to other peoples feelings And left my mind completely reeling. How could I have been so cold , so ruthless To others needs, and on their sorrows I did feed. I thought by climbing the ladder of success I had to put down all the rest. Then in a dream I saw myself being lowered Down into the ground , and not one friend Or family member to be found. There was not one tear shed for me Because of the way I used to be. I woke up in a cold sweat, my hands were trembling ,My eyes were wet. I had cried in that dream For my life I had seen. I fell to my knees and started to cry When I felt you by my side. I asked you : “if when I ask a question And it was your will If in my body I’d feel a chill.” You gave me the answers to change my life around And in you - a new life I had found.
