You have given me the strength to try to carry on.

Even though I have been tossed aside,

And I can barely feel my heart,

You still see me as something beautiful.

Your love is the only thing that can save me,

The only thing that can protect me from the eternal darkness that wants to devour my soul,

And make me think there is no hope.

I look in your eyes and know that youlove me,

And you are helping me fight my battles with just a gaze.

You give me hope,

And the courage to carry on without a friend by my side.

My life was a nightmare,

And I hated it,

Until you came along.

I will carry on,

Because you love me.

And even though I can’t see you,

And you may not be there all the time,

Your touch is in my soul.

Your love is the only thing that keeps me strong,

Even though I am falling apart.

You piece me back together,

Making each part stronger.

I push against what everyone is saying,

The doubt and lies.

I’m breaking free of the hold of the world.

Broken heart,

Shattered dreams,

Fading memories

I was losing hope,

My trust was in ashes,

My faith in flames,

Still I walk along,

Because you give me the strength to carry on.

I crawl through the smoke and haze,

And I look past the gossip that destroys everything in its path.

I can carry on,

Because you have given me hope,
