An Ode To My Darkest Days

You saved my life.
That is not an exaggeration,
Or an overstatement,
Or a wild and crazy lie I've taken years and years to create.
My Darkest Days,
You saved my life,
And continue to save my life.
You first came to me one dark and painful day.
A day of black and white,
Of numbness and void,
Of loneliness and the feeling of wanting to die.
There was nobody for me to turn to.
Not my friends,
Not my family,
Not people who said they cared when I knew they didn't.
Music was there to comfort me,
Taking me into its soft and caring arms,
Telling me everything was going to be okay,
That there's always a rainbow after the storm.
And that was when I met you.
You sat idly by,
As if staying close to make sure I was okay.
You came and introduced yourself,
And I was immediately hooked.
You soothed me,
You took care of me,
You saved me.
You made me feel like I was strong,
That I was going to make it out alive,
That nothing could bring me down to the point of wishing for my very last breath to happen already.
You have always been there for me.
Through the years, you never left my side.
You always came back to make sure I had a place to turn to,
And I always turned to your loving arms.
My Darkest Days,
Thank you,
For being there for me when nobody else was.
For guiding me through the void.
For showing me the rainbow after the storm.
For holding my hand and never letting go.
My heart will always belong to you.
I love you,
My Darkest Days.
