The Sword of Life

When you asked me if I was okay
I said "I'm fine"
When you turned away
I whispered "I lied"

But you didn't hear it
My silent prayer
That you'd stay with me there
You just kept walking a bit

Until you turned around
You asked "what did you say?"
But I just answered "nothing"
You were already too late

My ounce of bravery was gone
My brokenness had pushed me too far
Into the shadows of my own home
My mind
Destroyed by lies of mankind

Those lies
Those hideous deceits
They tore into me
Until I was blind
To the beauty in my life

The darkness took over
The line no longer visible
Until all I could do to save myself
Was run into your arms
And hope for the best from a criminal

And you saved me from myself
And from the darkness in my mind
You pulled me back into the light
So that I could live my life
And understand the concept of time

Once again
No absence of mind
Not with you
Who have the key to my heart
Which you stole
With the sword of life
