When I Needed Love

I needed you years ago My youth kept you away I guess It was its turn to ruin me Lead me around by my broken parts And what a force it was Surviving on just insights and inspiration While I grew into something lower and darker I couldn't call it hell But I called it hell just to give it a name Because it was important to me It was all I knew and it was home I needed you years ago Before I got comfortable in all this Blind to the harm of being constantly chained to chaos and destruction But they became family enough for me to wear them as accessories And although the sun will never tell you they can shine You will always see me wearing them I found a small peace and a little right in where I am And who I have become Sometimes I wish I can wish Maybe then I can find solace in thinking this isn't all And there is more to the little piece of the world I own But I am still okay with how things are now And that has taught me something new I needed you years ago
