She Was

She was the light
That guided me through the storm;
That chased away my darkest fears
That, around my mind, swarm.

She was the lifeline
That was thrown to me
When my life went overboard
Into Sorrow's drowning sea.

She was the breath
That filled my lungs with air.
When I needed to talk,
She was always there.

She was the sight
That led me back to shore
When I could no longer fight my sorrow
Because I could take no more.

She gave me the courage
To fight Life's relentless rain,
To keep on moving forward
No matter how strong the pain.

She was the cure
To my disease called "Sorrow,"
And had given me the will
To live to see tomorrow.

She was the ship
That came to my rescue
When I was drowning in my Sea of Sorrow
And didn't know what to do.

She was the wind
That blew the storms away,
And brought out the sunny skies
That brighten up my day.

She was the thought
To wheich I turned
To calm me down when overwhelmed
Whenever Anger's fires burned.

She was the Huntress
That saved me when I had to fight
The raging wolves inside my mind
That tear me apart at night.
