Chains and Light: A Survivor's Song

In the shadows, I was lost,

A heart once dim, a heavy cost.

But then you came, a beacon light,

Dee, you showed me I could fight.

Once a distance, now so near,

Whispered secrets, calmed my fear.

In this hotel, walls closing tight,

You wrap my heart in your sunlight.

Chains around my weary soul,

But with your love, I can be whole.

You taught me pain means I'm alive,

In your embrace, I learn to thrive.

Oh, Dee, you’re my sweetest dream,

In the dark, you make me gleam.

Together we rise from grief and strife,

You’re the spark that brings me life.

Ottawa’s nights, they weigh me down,

But with your love, I wear a crown.

From lost to found, a survivor’s tale,

With every heartbeat, I prevail.

The chains may tighten, but I can breathe,

Holding onto hope, I won’t grieve.

You remind me, it's okay to feel,

In our love, the world can heal.

Oh, Dee, you’re my sweetest dream,

In the dark, you make me gleam.

Together we rise from grief and strife,

You’re the spark that brings me life.

Take my hand, let’s escape tonight,

No more shadows, just our light.

Every moment by your side,

Together forever, we’ll abide.

So here’s my promise, loud and clear,

In every battle, I’ll keep you near.

Thanks for the love, for the strength to fight,

Dee, you’re my dawn, my endless light.
