The Power of Light
She decided to awake
 From months of lying dead
 Giving love was a mistake
 He took her heart and fled
 She arose without a thought
 Walking to the door
 With her heart she fought
 So it would not fall to the floor
 
 Her eyes were overflowing
 Tears dripped down her face
 The thought of ever loving
 Would never cross this place
 She was done with all the lies
 The anger and the sorrow
 The memory of his eyes
 The nights with no tomorrow
 
 Walking to the light
 She waited just a bit
 Was this really right?
 Could she handle it?
 Her eyes had been in the dark
 Forever it had seemed
 But then she saw a spark
 In came the sun that beamed
 
 She stared into the brightness
 But nothing blinded her
 She didn’t feel so lifeless
 There was no longer a blur
 Her head was looking high
 Into a daze she fell
 Clearly there was a sky
 That, she could easily tell
 
 The light had consumed her
 Bathed every inch of skin
 She suddenly felt unsure
 Of why she had held it in
 She felt the rays of the sun
 And began to doubt
 Why she felt that he had won
 Why she had kept herself out
 Out of the life she knew
 The life of light and dreams
 She now had come through
 All of the glittering gleams
 She could feel her soul
 Glowing from inside
 Again her heart was whole
 From taking one step outside
 
 She would always love him
 Deep in the back of her mind
 The love would be very dim
 A love she could never find
 But now she was awake
 No longer lying dead
 Giving up was a mistake
 She’d rather live instead
