How many dark places

have I been

 

Has there been too many

 

Did I die?

 

My heart feels so heavy

will I let you hold it

 

will I let you have it

 

I want to

 

The tears choke me

they stop my breath

 

Did I die?

 

God I hope not

 

I want to accept 

the new life

ahead of me

 

I want to embrace it

 

and 

 

You

 

Walking into the light 

can be blinding

 

Your eyes need to adjust

 

will I adjust?

 

God...

 

I hope so.
