LIFT ME UP
August 11, 2008A poem that I wrote just over one year ago. I just felt the need to find it and post it today as it seems fitting, I am feeling connected to so many of you thanks to Criss and this website, it's great to be a part of something good hearted & true
LIFT ME UP
I've never felt more alone, the darkness has become me…
How do I ever find that long lost, buried feeling?
Clasping the last bit of sunlight through the cracks in the window
My arms are too weak to feel the warmth
I fall slowly to the cold, dampness of the floor
Wallowing in the sins and tragedies of the past
If only they weren't still grating within my aching body
These grotesque thoughts pain every waking moment
The walls surround me, seemingly darker and taller each day
Colours fade to emptiness, and the fervor of nothingness swells deep inside me
Walking on sidewalks with my zombie-like trance
I accept that my life has been gutted and thrown to the dark depths of the sea
When I thought the shadows couldn't be any uglier
When I thought the echoes couldn't be any louder…
The love of your human spirit enveloped me,
A feeling of euphoria that lifted me to heights I'd never dreamt of…
The peaceful sound filled my soul to the brim
And I could feel the glass ceiling shatter to pieces
A garden of harmony in my heart brought me to tears
A renewed sense of liberty showered the petals
Your light, your never-ending faith and hope
It found me
Your generous and giving spirit
It found me
Your soaring vocals and melodic tongue
It found me
Your carefree, gentle love
It found me
Believe me when I say
You're all I need to keep me free
Believe me when I say
You keep me standing strong
I know I will never fall again
With simply having you by my side.
