you lifted me …





In the void of the crevasse,


in the bleakness that siphoned my breath,


in the pit of hopeless despair,


you lifted me,


to live again,


to be.




In the thrashing maelstrom of pain,


in the drowning sewage of that vile drain.,


you lifted me,


to live again,


to see.




In the suffocating hell of loneliness,


in the prison where I walked on shards of glass,


you lifted me,


to live …




you lifted me,

out of the bleakness of my personal hell,


you lifted me,

when all that remained of me was a hollow shell,


you lifted me,

each time I tripped, every time I fell …




you lifted me,

breathing life into my arid soul again,


you lifted me,

with the elixir to stand upright again,


you lifted me,

healing me with your human touch again …




you lifted me,

out of the desolation of that lifeless cave,


you lifted me,

you infused in me the hope that you so selflessly gave,


you lifted me,

steering me away from the edge of that yawning grave …




you lifted me,

mending the fragments of my heart,


you lifted me,

gathering the pieces of myself that lay torn apart,


you lifted me,

giving life, as the anguish did quietly depart …




you lifted me,

cradling me as I once more felt whole,


you lifted me,

away from the agony of walking on hot coal,


you lifted me,

as you lift me now …


now that we are one,

now that we are together,


now that we bathe in the light that fate once stole,


you lifted me,


as we remain as one,


heart to heart,

soul to soul …
