A Reason

I never had a reason to stay

I never had a reason to pray.

My life was full of fire and ice,

I always thought I'd pay the price

For others' mistakes

And others' ravenous takes.

But there was a day I was down,

So many people had knocked me to the ground,

When a boy came out from the blue,

A boy I soon learned to be you.

You said follow your dreams

And don't ever stoop to their screams. 

Years it took for me to believe

There was something other than grief,

But you laid by my side

All the times that I hauntingly cried.

And I lived and I learned

That you have always returned. 

So here I am, looking up at the stars,

No longer looking at the ugly scars

Cause all I see are your loving eyes,

Hearing none of the monsters' cries;

Knowing I have a reason to pray

And knowing I will always have a reason to stay.
