A Year and a Half

A Year and a Half

For a year and a half,
           Black was covering my heart.
           I went crazy, I went blind, 
           I wasn't able to see the light.

For a year and a half,
           The men I met were my  only vision, 
           Leading me to a corner, 
           Tempting me with fire.

For a year and a half 
          I was searching for the light, 
          Until He came
          And brightened my sight.
