Before I became strong, I knew what it was like
To be weak,
How difficult it is to love yourself,
To find the wholeness that you seek.
Before I knew the light,
I have had my fair share of darkness, too,
Where my world fell into a hopelessness
And I didn't know how to get through.
For I have known the tears it takes,
The courage to stand up again,
When you are broken down and bruised
And you know nothing but the pain.
Before I was who I am now,
I was someone I didn't want to be.
I was lost, battered, and defeated,
Before I knew how to be me!
You used me.
I thought you were the key,
But the truth is that you used me,
I've never been the type to say what I feel
So basically I keep everything inside
From the moment our eyes met,
My soul could never forget.
You handed me your numb
As you travel on life's way
With its many ups and downs,
Remember it's quite true
The answer lies true in my heart,
So if I tell you, will you tear it apart?
Or wi
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
a
I never knew love until I found you.
Always thought it was a myth until you showed me it
I have a heart and it's quite broken.
I read your words as if they were spoken.
Y
While you weren't here
I cried every night.
A million tears fell,
Still,
The sunshine appears to be brighter.
My heart feels a bit lighter.
