There is a darkness
I have known
For longer than
I should have endured

I have not shed too many tears
Today…
Last night,
I cried myself to sleep

I dreamed of your touch,
But in my dream
You faded…
In a clouded dust storm

Forced… to turn away from you…
What – the - hell was I thinking?
I - can - not turn – away
Not – from – you, I cannot bear it

But I did… I finally did
I woke up, I step closer to
The window,
Glorious raindrops falling

My tears dancing
On my cheeks
While I smiled and said,
Goodbye, my love

Be patient with me
I’m still a work in progress

Somedays I seem put together
But that paint’s not dry just yet

One day I’ll get this right
I’m sorry

I think
the world
needs
more
of us
than we
can offer

the wrong one
will find you in peace
and end up leaving you in pieces

only the right one
can find you in pieces
and guide you to peace

you don't know what you'll become,
but i promise it's worth it.
This world has made you strong and kind.
oh, what a wondrous thing,
to say,
"i fell apart, and survived."

yes, you'll be okay.
