You Are My Light In The Dark
In a world so dreary a world of decay, division, and disdain
In a world where kindness seems a trait of the insane
In a world where virtue is replaced with the signaling of worth
In a world where I’ve been rejected, seemingly from birth
In a world where cruelty seems the norm of the day
I find it difficult to trust when someone says it doesn’t have to be this way
A beautiful butterfly has flown into this world of contempt
And I’m left wondering, how could she love me? There must be more to the intent
But if I shut my heart off every time I fear to be hurt
With a sickness like mine, would fear always have the final word?
I feel a love unique, precious, and true
And it scares me to death of the pain of the trust I have in you
You are my beautiful butterfly, my magandang paruparo
You give me strength when I’m feeling weak and alone
You have helped lift me up from the depths of despair
Filled my lungs with love when they struggled for air
Given me trust in my voice, belief of a place in this world
A heart that beats with mine, a gift from this beautiful girl
But not a girl, a woman who loves me with bravery of my fears
For when they take over, it’s proven I don’t suffer alone over the years
You’ve given me sight when all seems gloomy and dark
You kindled the fires with kindness so true, it was the needed spark
You quieted the voices, silenced the laughter, and calmed the storm
That has raged through my life and I feared a new norm
And I’ve watched as the world descended in madness alongside
And you’ve given me faith that God is truly on my side
With His hand in my left and yours in my right
I will trust my heart when mind goes to the place of night
You give me a guiding light on the darkest of days
Just knowing you care guides me back when I’ve lost my way
I’ve lost faith in humanity, but I’ve found faith in you
I will trust my heart, and it tells me, of all my doubts, your love is true
You are the woman of my dreams, a woman as true as any other
My love for you I couldn’t ever give to another
Our love gives me purpose, keeps me pushing through the night
Because though things have been dark I know you’re leading me back to the light
