You’re My Oasis

You’re My Oasis

On this island I lay bleeding and torn,

A story of regret leaving me forlorn.

And yet with every mistake

And with each heartbreak

I call upon your name

To lift me out of this shame.

And in the mirror I see your face,

Like a warm, loving embrace

You lite the courage in my soul

And remind me of the truth that I am whole;

That this story can be written anew,

And it’s my favorite side of you…

To surrender is certain death

Of an old and feckless and wasted breath.

The discipline and self-love it takes to mourn

So this old story can finally be reborn

Into something new and great,

Filled with love instead of hate.

A disruption to the homeostasis,

You’re my beautiful oasis.
