Best of me

My depression had the best of me

Until you came along and brought it back into me

And I could have sworn you saved my life

Although I'd never let you in on those dark nights

Because you're so perfect

And I am so not

And I guess at some point you understood this

Because you left me alone with my sadness

The best of me leaving once again

And I'm still waiting for the night 

when I've given up on your loving arms

And give in to the endless dark

Of a sleep that can be created between these sheets.
