The vast emptiness of the night swallowed my cries
He’d done it again, sucked me back in
How could I be open to accept his lies?
How could I be so stupid again?

My heart ached as it tried to escape
Wrenching pain coursed through my veins
This time it was too much to take
My body ceased to function and withered away

My essence disappeared
Surrounded by emptiness
Dark thoughts appeared
I was lost in the abyss

Despite my desire for isolation
God sent me an angel
A kind-hearted man offering liberation
From my self-dealt hell

Amidst the dark came a blinding light
White rays cutting a path to reach me
Blinded and bewildered, I put up a fight
My heart, mind, and soul screamed, we’re not ready!

He was as dumb as a mule, but as strong as a bull
Catching repeated piercing blows from my depression tornado
Taking my insults and rejection in full
Sticking by me and hoping to help save my soul

His persistence watered my spirit
My inner-self bloomed, like a beautiful rose after a tumultuous rain
He has replenished my being, restored every bit
His love rescued me from my enduring pain

I was lost and alone
But God sent an angel to my door
A man whose heart has become my home
A man for which I’ve deeply fallen for
