In my long lost desires and fearful sights
Always being afraid of falling from heights
Hiding in my own shadow, taking slow quiet breaths
In fear of alerting my own self-harming threats
I walked on the sand alone
Counting my footprints trailing along
Sometimes I wished these footprints turned into four
So I’ll have someone whom I could recall
Then I saw you shining in my soul
Forcing me to breathe through the blows
You healed all my cuts and filled my life with lights
That lightened up my darkest nights
I wasn’t afraid of breathing freely now
And my demons left me with a bow
Now I saw four footprints in the sand
Shining sun and promising hands
But suddenly I looked back and saw only two
Crying because I thought He said Adieu
Continued walking I looked at the sky
Trying to find a reason not to cry
Suddenly I heard a voice near me say
“I’m carrying you, honey, just lead the way”
