A Night That Almost Lost Tomorrow

That night was eternal 
drifting toward a forever sleep 
voices falling faint
thoughts of tomorrow escaping  
with time slipping away 
I walked toward a light I was not scared to follow
body still euphoria right there
but before the final second of a wasted life 
I found my soul 
it told me I was not broken
gave me the strength to awaken
promising another day to make up my mind

more our hearts break us in two
when I think of you

I am surrounded
in a life so full of love
why am I alone?
