She cries in the night while you lay sleeping
Her tears fill her pillow leaving no room to rest her head
She is weary hoping for just a moment without the fear of loneliness
The darkness fills the room and swallows the little bit of hope she had
There’s nothing left inside her heart
She begs for forgiveness as she cries in the night
She doesn’t know who will hear her or if anyone will care
She feels you no longer see her
So she asks you for nothing
She no longer takes your hand
As morning breaks and the sun caresses her skin
She feels her life slowly slip back into place
She wonders what is different
She knows not who saved her
But she sees a new direction
And her eyes are now open
She feels a bit of freedom as she stands ready to go
Someone must have heard her begging for forgiveness
For now she feels a strength she never felt before
She now stands ready to take on the world
With all the tools to keep her strong
Out of the Darkness©
