You reached out through a void
Gray, numb, gripping thoughts
You stepped down to my ground

You walked the spiral steps
Held fast my hand, and rocked my heart
With only a sudden sideways glance

You perpetuate motion,at the flick of a wrist
You never forget what they are, or what they have missed
You are the reason for peace, why forgiveness can exist

Time is well spent, when I let you in, and you take me out
You took the time to find lines, within simple doubts
A reasonable distance you sought, when others drowned
You fell backwards, plunging through turbulant waters
Yet continued to breathe, and astound

You saw past the guise, that was guarded and locked
You perpatrated the forrest, knocked down the falsely armored guard


And you stand as you are
Naked and afraid
But fear is your beauty
It drives you to be bare and unashamed

You hold it all within and cared to shine it out
All the good in you allows my dusty soul to air out
