You know, when we were on the balcony
We thousands of bright white dots
Waiting to be connected to create a picture
I never smiled
Even though you did
I guess I stayed in darkness too long
What will I have to do
In order to see and feel the warmth
Of light?
You should have told me to look down
At the calm ocean
Maybe then I would've seen of what
I have become
Maybe we wouldn't be in this mess
Darkness is the asylum
My head and heart is jammed with thousands of thoughts
That I don't want
My back hits the brick wall
I want to get out
I want to stop crying
I hear a song
A dove flies in from a window
Onto my lap
She speaks
"There is hope"
Light shines through the rain
I tilt my head back
With a smile on my face
What a beautiful song
