You Helped Me

You Helped Me

From a very young age in my life, I learned

that I could not show any emotion.

If I wanted to avoid any strife.

So in my mind a built a cage, in which to lock

away the rage. In it I put all that I could feel,

buried it deep in my mind, locked away

where no one could find.

I went on like this for years, feeling nothing

showing no emotion avoiding the pain

that such things bring.

Then one day I met the special person that was

to become my wife.

You showed me that all is not darkness and pain.

And that I could feel things once again.

With your love and acceptance of just who I am.

I slowly began to once more let myself feel.

And with your help began the process to heal.

It was terrifying at first, just how much do

really let myself feel.

All the years of striving not to feel anything,

no emotions none of the pain they can bring.

You stood by my side, through the tough times

showing me that I can feel and become whole.

And that feeling things doesn't necessarily

include pain or sadness, there can be joy

and happiness as well.

Things have not been easy, I have had set backs.

But you are still by my side,

helping me to take it all in stride.

Now the healing is still taking place, but I want to tell

you face to face Thank You.

If it were not for you, I don’t know just where I would be.

Would I even be alive at this time, would I still be lost.

I Have finally have found peace and love

because of you, I know that you helped me at great cost.

I hope that by showing you all the love that I can,

will repay you in some small way for all you

have done for me..
