[BlueAngel]

I love you
Not only
Because you love me
For who I am
But, because, there you stand
Beside me
Every step of the way
While I try to see through all the dirt
In my face

And
There you are
again
When I emerge
Pouring your grace
Upon me

Helping me learn to love myself
And see beyond
All the dirt
In my face

The utter disgrace of it all
and the places
I once was

Showing me how to shove it
To the side
And
Be in the here and now
And not the past
For it is gone
And, oh, how I long

For your arms
When I’m in that space
Holding me
When I can't see
through all the dirt in my face

and

there you are

with me

in the now and not the past

and

There isn’t any dirt in my face
it's all been cleared away
and I can see in front of me
The footsteps I must take
To erase the memories of what once was

A cell
A torture chamber
A dark and damp floor
Crawling to the food
Left by the door

Eating and feeling sick
Being deprived of life
Sacrificed

Feeling like I wanted to die
But fighting to stay alive
For this day

Today, tomorrow
And
All the tomorrows to come

For we are one
And, you

You are my love
