Healing Despair by Cheeya

Through the storms, you stood by me.

Through the laughter and the tears,

My life has changed so much, thanks to you.

You chased away my fears.

How many times have I hurt you?

And yet you smile at me.

That tender smile that lights your eyes,

And makes me feel so free.

Your eyes are gentle green and filled

With more love than I can say,

You took a jaded warrior

And helped her find her way.

We’ve travelled together and fought together

And filled each other’s needs (Ha ha!… for Sham)

You’ve planted feelings in my heart

And nurtured them like seeds.

Now I watch you sleeping

Your face a gentle mask

I can’t believe you stayed with me,

I didn’t even ask

Your love has guided me through the times

When I thought I’d surely die

The pain, the grief, the suffering

The devastating lie

Betrayal pierced me like a sword

I didn’t want to care

About the pain that lanced right through your heart

That sent you to despair

You lost a youthful innocence

Because of my mistake

But once again, you give me love

A comfort I need to take

So now that all has been resolved

Our love is standing tall,

You gave me back my faith in us

Gabrielle, you are my all.
