I walked upon the sullen streets rain drenched hair and all.
My tears no one noticed masked by natures own sorrow.
I walked and found an empty space a
space dark and cold,
a place to hide myself away where others could not find
me.
I came to this place and here I will stay
with only the misery of my past
memories to hold me in its embrace.
No one here but my self to wipe the tears
from my pale face.
Opening my eyes to another dark and lonely day, I glimpsed at
something that I had not seen in so long, too long ago to remember.
There
they stood above me hands outstretched and reaching.
He grasped my cold hands
in his and pulled me to his arms.
Til that day I had only known sorrow and misery,
but now I saw what others had
and longed for that empty darkness to leave.
Little by little I have found joy,
not enough to replace the sadness
but enough to cover what little remains.
I am thankful for the light that was shown to me
and for the happiness it has
given me,
for you see that cold dark place was my heart
and the glimpse of
light was you.

To all those who have touched my life, and shown me that there is always a little glimpse of light inside...
