Closed off and hollow
No feelings allowed
Running in circles
No start to be found.
Surrounded in loneliness
The darkness my only friend.
Only silence was spoken
Seemed it would never end.
Barely above water
Drowning in fear
A soft whisper
Lightly kissed my deafened ears.
Grasping an arm offered
Stretched down from above
The warmth surrounded me,
Comforting,
Full of Love.
Today I look into
Emotion filled eyes
Knowing I could never
Explain all the why's.
Words could not express my thanks
For my angels warm embrace.
His caring and patience
In all I had to face.
So my Promise... Forever
Wrapped in the finest gold
With you by my side
Love will never grow cold.
