All alone... I cried, waiting for your touch to save me.
In my room I sighed... yearning for your love to thrill me.
I await the time to achieve perfection from your love,
Can I survive without that?

Then came the pressure, deceit; and pain began.
I hate you; yet I need you,
I can't bear to be on my own.
Don't leave me, I want you even when you hurt me.

Then it's over... I feel the crushing weight of the world.
I worry endlessly, how can I get beyond your eyes?
My confusion is overwhelming, and I need what I can't have.
My world is closing in on me... can this ever change?

Then one day I look around... and it's okay to be without you.
I know it's alright to be without your gaze, and your arms to hold me.
I see your faults... we were not meant to be,
I deserve so much more than you ever gave...

And then I Awaken.....

Sweetie... I have to say, you're the nicest one around here! I mean everyone here is cool, but you always have something uplifting and positive to tell me... I love that. Thanks for your comments...

Very well done Jenn! Your title is perfect for the theme you have written about. It is such a release to be able to "awaken" and see someone's faults clearly, knowing that you deserve so much more. Wonderfully written!  

Best wishes,
/Kit
