Something in Me

Once I was shrouded in darkness

Garbed in a cloak of despair

I concealed my heart from the world

My heart was wretched to my eyes

A most shameful thing to bare

I had resolved to destroy it

Love had become a bitter curse

And affection was a snare

So I vowed to become hollow

Somehow you saw through the darkness

And found something true and rare

And you found a healer, like you

With each embrace, I am restored

And with each moment we share

The world becomes bright and vibrant

Mending each other with every touch

We join together as a pair

And reveal our hearts with every smile

Even in my darkest hour

You saw through the cloak I wear

And you saw that something in me
