Before You

Before I met you
I was in pain.
I begged for death
But he never came.

Before I met you
I could not see.
I could walk and talk
But I could never be.

When I met you
Everything cleared.
I was surprised
To feel something other than fear.

You helped me trust.
You showed me how to breathe.
You gave me life
And even dreams.

But when I lost you
That all changed.
All I could think of
Were the times we shared.

I'm nothing but a hollow shell
And for all I've done
I'll burn in hell.

But before I go
I hope and pray
To find you once more
And hold you again.
