Crouched beneath a storm strewn sky
Face in the dirt with no will to try
My prison has crumbled, now it is gone
Rubble around me, how long will this go on

Rain pelts my body as i lye in the dirt
Reality found and all I feel is hurt
Convulsions rock my being, shivering in the cold
An eternity passed, yet I haven't grown old

My search for that star long forgotten
My head swirled with thoughts that I am lost in
But after all this time unfeeling, something comes to me
A vision of beauty that I am unable see

She picks me up and dusts me off
Holds me close and does not scoff
Keeping me away from the chill of the storm
Arms wrapped around me to keep me warm

All this time she held my heart
To her love is no game, but a beautiful art
She opens my eyes to a new way to live
Finally someone worthy of the love I can give
