Awakening

Awakening

A Poem by Michael (Letters and Lifelines)

I just want to feel alive again
Before our time is up
And it's too late.
Just like living inside a dream
In those final moments
Before you wake.

I'm scared as hell.
But I'm ready now.
Even if you see no end in sight
Don't just kneel before your doubt.
Embrace your hidden pain,
And believe tonight
You'll be alright.

Just see...

I'm here.

Alone.

And just know...

I'm ready

To make this life our own.

If you feel the slightest hint of love
Please find a way
To let me know.
Gather all the things you thought were dead
And use your touch
To make them grow.

I have this need
I can't ignore
Like a void inside my soul.
If you fall and can't go on
I'll lay by your side
To make you whole
And say this all.

Just see...

I'm here.

Alone.

And just know...

I'm ready

To make this life our own.

All the children who were young with us
Left with lessons
They thought they learned.
I lost myself in trails they left behind
I felt the vicious pain
And I returned.

Just stay the same
Don't ever change
Even if your faith just fades with time.
If everything you love just falls away.
Keep me in your mind
And don't resign.
You'll still be mine.

Just see...

I'm here.

Alone.

And just know...

I'm ready

To make this life our own.

You're all I need...
You're all I breathe...
I just need you with me.

You're all I see...
You're everything...
I just need you with me.

You're all I need...
You're all I breathe...
I just need you with me.

You're all I see...
You're everything...
I just need you with me.

Just see...
I need you with me.

I'm here.

Alone.
I need you with me.

And just know...
I need you with me.

I'm ready

To make this life our own.

I just need you with me.
