You Saved Me

When sadness came to make me its home inside of me. When all looked dark and hopeless, when pain was the only sensation that took its dominance over me, You saved me. When the enemy put his cold, dark, hand upon me, My life to kill me, When tears were the only food I partook of every night, When I longed for death Because I need to be relieved from my misery, You saved me. When I felt like a loser, that my life would never change, When my world stopped turning and everyone passed me, When I just could no longer take it, You saved me. You placed me upon a rock and kept me safe from my troubles. You reached down to me and allowed me to feel your love. You made me feel important and that you listened to me. You are my best friend ever. I needed you. I still need you. When I turned my back on you and sought other companions, When I started making poor decisions And going slowly out of my mind, When I started to relive my painful memories, You saved me.
