The soul inside reborn as the sun seeps through my skin
That despondent brooding girl no longer lies within.
As though slowly awoken from a long cold winters dream
Perspective now returned to me, new summers self esteem.
For so long now I have thought, I have mulled, I have wept,
Living in the past of the life I wished I kept.
Regret and confusion spun webs inside my mind
Depression and self loathing came to what I was assigned.
The winter days allowed me to curl up inside my soul
No limits to the darkness in my head, I lost control.
In this unrelenting cold you were my all, my start my end
I felt as though I was fading as you remained my closest friend.
As the clouds recede, I mirror the clear blue sky
In its lucidity and its outlook I can open both my eyes.
You are in fact a vital part to who I have become
Contrary though to what I thought you are not my sun.
Though we may have seemed like the paper to the pen
And our love as boundless as a river with no end,
I am still complete without you as my partner by my side,
As intense and bright as ever, no piece of me has died.
The warmth on my skin shows I am still able to feel
I can be playful I can be happy I can take down my winter shield.
The sun highlights old facets from within I had forgot
My independence and my confidence, once hiding now are not!
