The dark hole.



I really understand, that deep and dark hole that you're in.
When you couldn't find me, where do you think I've been?

My life is lonely without you, I just want you to come back to me.
I hate to see you this way, in all this hurt, darkness, and misery.

I know you hate to see me like this too, that is why I came back to you.
It's okay to be sad, life's been hard, with all the things we've been through.

You're always such an inspiration to me, you are the reason that I believe.
You're the reason I stayed, I fought for myself, you're the reason I achieve.

Believe me when I say, that I know where you're at.
But find the strength, because you're up next to bat.

With your loving kindness, I now see the beauty in me, that you always saw.
I know that this will take time, your wounds are open wide, and you are raw.

I will fight for you, just like you always did for me.
We will eventually find our peace, just wait and see.
