You Light My Lane

Came through the dark, steady drowning in my sorrow

Futures blurrier than neon, no promised tomorrow

A void in my chest, echo loud, hollow

Then you glided in, a comet I could follow

You lit my lane, torch brighter than gold chains

Turned my drought to rain, rinsed out the old pain

Gave my heart a name, no longer in disdain

Now I’m flying high, you strapped me to a plane

Rough cut like diamond, life chipped my edges

Words barely spoke, my soul sat on the ledges

You built a bridge, brick by brick, no hesitations

Turned my chaos to symphony, new foundations

From the trenches to the light, you were my ladder

Struck my life like thunder, but left me in splatter

Naw, molded me stronger, whole script re-written

My whole universe shifted, your gravity hittin’

Gave my days rhythm, my shadows they scattered

Dreams once ghosted, now vividly splattered

From my lows to my highs, rooted like an anchor

I rise with your wind, a walking skyscraper

You lit my lane, torch brighter than gold chains

Turned my drought to rain, rinsed out the old pain

Gave my heart a name, no longer in disdain

Now I’m flying high, you strapped me to a plane
