The Re-Awakening

Pushed into a dark hole,
Unable to find my way out,
Farther down the hole I fall,
Not knowing when I'll stop,

Numbness fills my body,
Pain has overtaken me,
Unable to walk, travel, work,
Wishing I was unable to breathe,

I fall further down the hole,
My mood does likewise,
Seemingly hitting rock bottom,
Until I saw your face,

A light shines through,
A rope is thrown down,
As I climb to the top,
What I felt was lost has been found,

A smile gleams across your face,
As you reach your hand to lift me up,
We embrace as if we've known each other for years,
Even though we just met,

The numbness exits my body,
As sensations which were vacant are not anymore,
A sense of hope and optimism re-instilled,
You've helped re-awaken my heart.
