The Transition

The darkness was my Savior, The blood was my wine, Wings chained down and painted Black, I couldn't fly. I couldn't breathe, a hollowness Lay in my chest, cold, unfeeling, I Lashed out in anger, wanting to feel More than pain. Scars shadowed my heart and Blinded my eyes, thought it didn't matter So I reached for the blade and Scarred my wrist. But still I kept on, still I held Hope there was more than this, More than the pain of the Past and Present, Still I searched. My heart finally broke one too Many times and I was about to Give up on finding real Love, When I met you. I spent my life praying to a God Who showed me the waiting and The tears were worth it, the heartbreaks And disappointments. I've been afraid, not because I'm Afraid you're like the others but afraid I won't be good enough, afraid this is a dream and I'll wake without you. But I don't want to be afraid anymore, So unlock my chains and help me fly, I'll carry you with me, I promise you, I'm here to stay, Always and Forever...
