The darkness grips my very soul,
my heart just a blackened hole.
Even in the brightest light,
darkness wins every fight.
All the thoughts that fill my head:
stress, worry, and anxious dread.
Surrounded by many a friendly face,
I still feel alone and out of place.
I don’t know what to do
to stop feeling so blue.
Then you’re there, a light in my dark,
and there’s the start of a tiny spark.
The spark grows day by day,
and I hope you’ll always stay.
My sad heart begins to heal,
and I start to finally feel
more than just worry and dread,
happy thoughts invade my head.
You chased the darkness from my soul,
and made my heart completely whole.
