Reaching Out
                       
As I lay here in the darkness
Listening to my pumping heart
The silence is almost deafening
And darkness plays her part
I feel so small
Like a ship lost at sea
Resting in the palm of despair
But I take solace in knowing
My strength sleeps beside me
She's always been there

Like an angel sent to guide me
You took my hand from the demons who tried me
And washed away the self-doubt
Cutting the ties that were dragging me down

Now I am right where I need to be
Happy with the man who I became
I slow danced with the Devil
To the sounds of his seductive band
But you saved me from my destiny
Just by reaching out your hand

As the darkness gives way to the glow
From the street light
I can see you laying there on your side
The curves of your body are like art work
And I need you to know I love you so much
It sometimes hurts

The wind blows the curtains to allow more light
I can see the magnitude of your love and sorrow
Tattooed to remember your happiness and pain
For once I reflect on your stories of past tomorrow's
As I am reaching for your hand
