I said goodbye to you today
For the last time.
I saw that look in your eyes again,
The one you try so hard to hide.
Life has not been good to you
I know.
You have seen and heard
That which is well beyond your years.
Full of hurt and empty promises
That nobody deserves
But are yours anyway.
Life is stubborn,
Refusing to do what you will it to,
And blames you for the mess you are in.
But there is a Love in this life,
That compares to no other.
Waiting to be found.
It goes far beyond what you could ever imagine.
It is absolute and unconditional,
It will hold you and keep you,
Never letting go.
It longs to invade the emptiness that consumes you,
If only you would reach out,
And take hold of this Love.
