She is There

When sleeplessly I tease my mind
She is there
When tangled threads of life unwind
She is there
When sweet-death music turns my head
She is there
When I embrace indulgent dread
She is there

When cherished pain my heart enfolds
She holds me close
When the story of my doubt unfolds
She holds me closer still
When self-destruction beckons me
She calms my soul
When only love can set me free
She loves unselfishly

When I believe I have no worth
She trusts in me
When my time comes to leave this earth
She’ll honour memory
Until that time this loving friend
Returns my love
Lighting up my life until its end
For she is always there
