Restoration

For a long time,
I had a darkness looming over me 
From the inside

Shameful to speak about 
Neither is it proud

Caused by a broken and a used heart 
I thought it would forever stain me
No rain could ever wash away its haunt

And then you came
And the darkness became lame

The shadows in me began to banish 
Like a resurrection of the heart
It once was, but with your presence it began to vanish

You redeemed my purity
And brought back the pieces in me that shattered
Now i think ive experienced true love...
Finally i see clearly
