Defeat

We were both trapped

In our own abyss,

Yours was yours; mine was mine,

Nothing of this world did we miss.

Slowly escaping from your dark,

You furiously searched in mine, for me;

Reaching down into my endless pain,

Your hand delivered love, tenderly.

I argued and fought, not to leave;

You gave my dark, reason, to fade away;

I pulled at my curtain of darkness

And I hoped my pain would stay.

Your warm heart dried my tears,

Your loving hand killed my fears;

With your strong encouraging rope,

You brought me into the light of hope.
