So much of my soul has never surfaced;
I've been hazey-eyes and aimlessly floating for so long...
I've longed to feel the high of being alive for too long...
The drugs lied -
Even when I submersed myself, it didn't suffice.
Deeper now, wondering why I still couldn't breathe in this life.
Drowning for a lifetime,
Thinking maybe I'm just meant to adapt to this bitter cold...
Deeper now, it seeps through to the marrow of my bones,
and tells me I'll always be alone.
And then I felt her,
In places that had been numb for so long.
She ignited my soul,
Warming my world and breathing new life into me.
For the first time I truly took a breath,
was the first day I laid my eyes on her.
