From Darkness to Dawn

In the shadows, where I used to dwell,

Lost in the echoes, of my own personal hell.

But February's end cracked the night,

A bright spark appeared in my sight.

I was drowning in despair, feeling so small,

Every corner of my world, it felt like a wall.

But then came a whisper, a voice I knew well,

A friend in the darkness, breaking my shell.

Waking from slumber, finding my way,

Through the ashes of sorrow, back into the day.

Oh, sweet love, you pulled me from the deep,

With your gentle hands, you taught me to leap.

In the heart of Texas, I found my light,

You're my hope, my reason, you made it right.

Those twenty long years, in hibernation,

Lost in a cycle of pain and frustration.

But you showed me compassion, warmth in your touch,

For the first time in ages, I felt so much.

Picking up pieces, I’m learning to stand,

With you right beside me, holding my hand.

Oh, sweet love, you pulled me from the deep,

With your gentle hands, you taught me to leap.

In the heart of Texas, I found my light,

You're my hope, my reason, you made it right.

I was a prisoner, bound in my cell,

Dreams turned to nightmares, casting their spell.

But your laughter broke through, like sun after rain,

You healed my spirit, you eased my pain.

So here's my heart, I give it to you,

For the love that you've shown, the skies so blue.

You saved me from darkness, you taught me to fly,

With you in my life, I’ll never say goodbye.
