Change me

 

Someone’s touched my life

Came in when I wasn’t

Even looking, snuck in through

The cracks, un-invited but still

She came

Someone’s opened up my heart

Turned on a light I never

Even knew was within me

And now the air that I breathe

Echoes her name

Someone’s shown me the way

Cleared a path of broken glass

Even I had been unable to cross

Taken away all the darkness

Burnt away my shame

Someone’s left me with a choice

Before now I never knew

That I could live this life differently

It’s not about the bad that can happen

Its about accepting the pain

Someone’s showed me they cared

With the slightest touch of her hands

It was a gesture so small, yet

Infinite in its reach

I can still feel her remain

Someone’s on my side

A new thing for me

Can I earn her love?

Can I return her faith?

There’s no more pain

There’s no more tears

There’s no more dark

Only light

Her light

This should never have happened to me

It did

She changed me

She did
