Kindred

When I thought that I gave up on myself, 
when it felt like I didn't care.
I put my heart up on the dusty shelf,
Most days I'd just sit and stare.
Tossing and turning awake in my bed,
thinking how it all went wrong.
Not escaping troubled thoughts in my head,
just stringing myself along.
So many words that went unsaid,
forgetting how to be strong. 
So much blood I could of shed,
but somehow I carried on.

I never saw the crossroad coming,
thought of it as just another day.
I was so tired from running,
my mind so fried and frayed.
This uncertain time that was at stake,
ceased with a shake of the hands.
letting go of what we had to take,
while we listen to our favourite bands.

Feeling so lost I need a guide,
to show me a brighter side.
Kindred spirit can you hear my call,
kindred spirit can you light up my soul.

Enriching that smile begun by her beautiful eyes.
Being blessed by her grace and care,
Shoulders back and head held high.
Her opinions so very bold and fair,
She surely took me by surprise.
At first I didn't really notice her,
until she asked me my points of view.
Suddenly to me it did occur,
how grateful I am for you.
Like an angel sent to help me through,
forever I will cherish you.
