I Was Broken, You Made Me Shine

by K. Brown
(Dallas, Texas)

I was broken when you found me,
and you reached in and freed me.
I was withdrawn and feeling numb,
watching life come all undone,
Growing fear of human grace,
a drowning mind in a dark embrace.
Your love tore through my bonds,
and set my heart to song.
Your need for me and mine for you,
has made my life a new.
You made my heart beat again,
as I fell in love with you.
Nothing is as it seemed before,
the darkness and solitude are gone.
You vanquished the evil from my soul
and made me shine again.
