Love Saves

Dedicated to my best friend.

Out of hope and out of breath, I was blue in the face
A burning star falling quickly out of open space
Just a rusty, old anchor lost on the ocean floor
My head was so heavy and my heart was so sore

 

A walking wound, my soul had been weathered and worn
The rain fell heavy and hard in what seemed like an endless storm
The walls went up as I pushed the whole world away
Then you broke through it all and there you chose to stay

 

I was close to the edge, within a few steps
So consumed by a darkness full of many cold depths
Ready to jump, I was ready to fly and ready to fall
But the care that you showed and the love that you gave, outweighed it all

 

Breathing air into a body that was so lost of life
One that's been through many different struggles and strife's
You set my soul on fire and showed me real love
You became my own saving grace, sent from somewhere up above

 

For this I can never repay you, for all that you've done
You've held so steady and true, someone special you've become
I'll forever stand by your side, until the very end
I hope you know that I love you, my truly amazing best friend

This is so beautiful. You do an amazing job of expressing your feelings before the person came into your life, and expressing how thankful you are to have them. Wonderful job.

I really liked this! I definitely agree that love saves. I think you can be in the deepest, darkest hole, but if you find someone that truly cares and loves you, you'll manage to get out it.

Loved the lines: "A walking wound, my soul had been weathered and worn
The rain fell heavy and hard in what seemed like an endless storm
The walls went up as I pushed the whole world away
Then you broke through it all and there you chose to stay"
