Sometimes when I'm alone,

I think of you.

I think of the way you held me

When I was scared.

I think of the way you kissed me

When I was lonely.

I think of the way you hugged me

When I was cold.

But then the darkness sets in,

And I think of you.

I think of the way you hurt me

When I was already hurting.

I think of the way you kicked me

When I was laying on the ground.

I think of the way you deserted me

When I was slowly bleeding out.

I met someone new,

Someone worthwhile.

He continues to hold me

When I get scared.

He continues to kiss me

When I feel lonely.

He continues to hug me

When I get cold.

And now the light's shining through,

I finally see the good in the world.

He doesn't hurt me

Even though I continue to hurt.

He doesn't kick me

But I'm still laying on the ground.

He doesn't desert me

But I'm still bleeding out.
