Beth

My love for you was never kept inside
Never hidden, never a secret
I could never get enough of you,
I had no regrets
I was burning inside with passion
But I was broken and you were not
I lived with a sort of pretense
That I was alright
A man of action
Longing to turn the noose into a knot
To hang on long enough
To survive this place
Your love helped me surive
Long enough
To love
You allowed me to live
And find a way to forgive
All those I needed to forgive
Including me
My love a secret I could never keep
Now looking back
You were the only one
How much a miracle you are
For me
You gave me everything I lacked
I'd never go back to that place
So dark and unpleasant
How very lucky I've become
