You are my light in the darkness
You lead me to better thoughts
Without you I'm left searching
And end up completely lost
You open my eyes
To a different perspective
Something I've never been able to see
A person who is not entirely defective
You see beauty in this mess
That I find hard to fathom
A diamond in the rough
You pull me from my chasms
When I'm on the ledge
Not sure what keeps me from letting go
You take my hand
And guide me away with the love that you show
I don't understand why you stay
As I look in this mirror at the scars and the chains
But you see more
You seek to remedy the pain
I'm not used to the affection you show
The unconditional love and understanding
The kind words and gentle touch
I can only wish it will be never ending
You mean so much to me
I wish that I could only show
Just a portion of that back to you
So my love you would know.
