Darkness had engulfed her world
she had not seen a light in years
locked away in her own mind
surrounded by her fears.
Dark circles deepened
underneath dull eyes of brown
she had lost all hope of freedom
and so she waits to die.
Once long ago she had a light
that warmed her to the core
it pushed away the darkness
protected her evermore.
But that light how it faded
until abandoned her it did
so now she sits in the darkness
waiting for death to take her in.
But slowly a light appears
though different from the last
it pushes away all signs of darkness
giving her release from her past.
She finds herself floating
giving in and wanting
the light engulfs her very being
and she begins to mend.
The circles disappear
from neath her eyes
the dull brown Iris's
turn to liquid bark and shine.
Her skin once pale
now a soft tan
finally the light caressed her very being
as she was held in the arms of a man.
This man he made her life complete
became her light when she's in need
she smiled more happily
more willingly and finally she realized
her life was no longer a dream.
