Dedication (sexyredhead)

Alone in the darkness, walking into hell
Bottle in hand, hood masking my face
It’s been another long evening in waiting
To write poems that no one will ever read
I’ve been so alone facing these dark trials
So close to suicide, I see the light fading away
When an angel grabbed me firmly by the hand
Red hair flowing, crimson smile enveloping me
With loving words spewing from her mouth
Lightening my mood with every word she speaks
Her wings, shielding me from my cruel reality
She knows where I’ve been. The dark temptations
She doesn’t care though, she’s been there too
Listening to my pathetic problems daily
A task she should never have agreed to uphold
The bottle runs empty and fills with my tears
Yet she still holds me close in my darkest of days
No pain, no criticism, only peace of mind
Like a drug, instant euphoria emerges
For a single minute, I feel real again, no longer a lie
I know I’m not alone in fighting these demons
Two souls with one goal, Make it to morning light
She has taught me to not fear others and their opinions
Open myself up, and let the cold world see who I really am
She has given me a gift beyond comprehension,
Something worth more than just money and fancy things
Nothing tangible, I received the gift of comfort
Something my weary soul has finally experienced
Every write has her every whim on my mind
Miles away, yet she feels so goddamn near
Opened herself a place in this small heart
Why she has done all this I will never know
I’m not worthy, not by a fucking long shot
I belong in the gutter. Dirt. Filth. Grime. Trash.
Yet she has taken me and made something beautiful
A shining work of art, displayed so proudly
Given me purpose, inspired to write once again
Thank you is just two words too simple alone
So I hope this can begin to express my gratitude
For you my truest friend, this is your dedication
