Oasis of Serenity

You came unexpectedly in the night

And assured me that you do not bite

I let you take me away

As we ran toward the bay

This spot that we would call ours

Lying quietly beneath the stars

I sat up in question

Wondering how I conquered this depression

 

You respected me at my lowest

When my heart would beat its slowest

You understood just how I felt

With sadness on a conveyor belt

You give me the confidence that I need

From these demons, I have been freed

Anger and sorrow are merely no more

Now that you have opened this door

I trust you with my life

For you took away the knife
