You Were There
You were there
But I didn’t know
Totally unaware
Unable to grow.
Constantly being shown
I just couldn’t see
You were there
Always calling me.
I had to hit bottom
Before I was able to hear
When I was ready
To permanently disappear.
You made me realize
This was not who I was
And beyond my understanding
My life serves a greater cause.
You loved me
When I couldn’t love myself
You were there to offer me help.
You gave me strength
When I was weak
You were there
When I couldn’t speak.
You were there
When death was so close
You were there
When I needed you most.
