"The Complete Me"

There are parts of me no one knows
Hidden places that I never show
Sometimes the pain is too much to bear
And my heart hurts too much to care

Clouds of blue rain down on me
So I can let these tears go
If pillows and teddy bears could talk
They'd surely say what they know

Parts of my heart are missing
I feel not quite complete
Looking at the reflection in the mirror
Asking who is this person I call me?

I laugh and joke, smile everyday
Because sometimes I can't let out what I really want to say
My Angel went to heaven, and my world turned a stormy blue
There are times when I no longer know what to do

A past I am not sure of, with bits of my life there and here
My heart slowly lets out a desperate tear
This head is weary, and my heart torn and tattered
From too many broken promises and dreams shattered

THEN...
Then you came into my life and the clouds went away
Maybe only for a little while, perhaps for only a day
But I am able to smile, and the pain begins to ease
Feeling the weight lift off of me, oh the sweet release

And I show myself to you and you did not laugh
You held my hand instead
And in a matter of a moment
You became my one true best friend

Life ever changing, moon goes around the sun
I fell in love with you, and my life thus begun
Teaching me how to live again, your love unlocked the chains
And I can smile easier, even when in the pouring down rain

Clouds of blue still rain on me
And tears I still do cry
But I found myself again
You are the reason why

Some things are meant to be
Make a wish because they can come true
All of mine did
The moment I met and fell in love with you.

Sometimes in order to find something
We must lose it, so I lost me and I found you
Looking into those beautiful blue eyes, what do I see?
I see the part of me that was missing, and I see the complete me

Wonderful writing from you, as always.

I like the hope in this one very much.  It shows that you can get through anything, especially with a little help and support

Oh, Aim!  What inspiration!  You have captured the emotion so perfectly!  Excellent write, my friend!

In order to find something, you must first lose it.....
