Stumbling

I stumbled upon you,

Just stumbling through

Life. In that hazy second,

I solemnly reckoned

Maybe I wouldn't be alone

After all. The promise engraved in my flesh and bone

Stuckme like a bolt of hope

That maybe I wouldn't spend the rest of these days trapped in this tight, tight rope.

In that moment, I knew

no matter the lies of pain or loss, love would always be true.

Because truthfully I

Had begun to give up, a horrible way to die.

Until I stumbled upon you.
