Surrounded by the darkness of my past,
Where the pain is all I know that was true.
Lies, deception, hate, and false love will always last
As my heart turns into a deeper shade blue.
I almost turned black, but that was last night.

I was dying a painful death, prolonging the inedible,
I was praying to the non-existent to end
The misery and bring on death.
Only to have it not even bend.
I was thinking death, but that was last night.

I was searching, searching all around
To try to find my own answer to my prayer.
Finding the blade of death, about to kiss,
So close to kissing, but could only stare.
I was close to suicide, but that was last night.

I awoke to another day, expecting only pain.
I was bitterly accepting that small fact.
Walking through the halls, going through the motions.
Seeing you made me realize what I lacked.
I was terribly lonely, but that was last night.

Your arms, the softest, but strongest arms I ever felt.
Your eyes, shifting from blue to grey, blue to grey.
Trapping me, securing me.
Every glance made it harder to not stay.
I didn’t know anything about you, but that was last night.

You listening to my troubles,
You listening to my fears,
You told me that it was alright,
And you caught all of my tears.
My heart was cold, but that was last night.

We held each other, telling our life stories.
We cried with each other, feeling all of the pain.
We laughed with each other, sharing our joy.
We kissed each other, but only after love came.

I didn’t know what love was, how it really feels,
But that was last night.
