There Wasn't A Time Poem by Mark Heathcote

There wasn't a time I wasn't alone
submerging, drowning
there wasn't a time I wasn't alone
I wasn't dreaming and screaming
there wasn't a time I wasn't alone
with lungs leaden, bleeding.

There wasn't a time I wasn't alone
the darkness didn't romance me
but I always somehow made it back home
to a burgeoning kiss
to someone caring for me
even when I wanted to drown.

There wasn't a time I wasn't alone
there wasn't a day a dark cloud
or an angry face
but everyone's a winner
when there's a smile
and a trace of caring priceless grace.

And the sunshine bottles its aspic
for another day, more
and just by luck, you fall in love
and count your blessings
without-economizing,
without tears or anger in your heart.

There wasn't a time hope didn't save me
and baby, it's you tonight.
