Everything has changed

Before I'd lay in bed,

Sad and alone at night.

Staring at the ceiling,

Tears making their marks upon my face.

Thoughts scaring my mind,

As if they were the knives cutting my skin.

I'd think of my untold sorrow filled life.

Darkness was my friend,

My only friend.

I lay in bed,

Feel your warmth spreading through my body as you lay next to me.

In your arms,

All thoughts are pure and well.

Dry cheeks,

Crinkled eyes.

No more fear,

As you chased away the dark friend.

You gave new meaning to my scars,

Scars of survival.

I no longer stare at the ceiling,

Instead into your gaze.

Getting lost,

In the safe feeling you bring.

I turn over in my bed,

I look at you.

I think to myself,

Everything has changed.
