The sky was gray, I was alone,
This knot in me would not untie
My world was tiny, all my own
And all I did was cry.
There wasn’t any hope in sight,
And sleep was not my friend,
I tossed and turned throughout the night
And wished it all would end.
No energy, no future plans,
No spirit lifting days appeared,
The fault felt truly mine alone,
This was my end I feared.
Time passed in slow motion,
Accepting pain, embracing it,
No respite, mine, and no relief,
Or did I merely quit?
And then the words I needed came,
Repeating something I once knew,
Distinctly clear and comforting:
Have faith and Love will see you through.
