Frozen, breathless, only eyes can move.
The phone rang, you were trying to prove,
That you did nothing wrong, but you've lost your mind.
I cannot imagine your reasoning behind
What you did, if you haven't gone crazy, if that's what you think.
Your voice stabbed my brain, making me weak.
A cry for help, you ask us for freedom.
A laugh creeps out of my punctured lung.
Are you serious? We won't get you out!
You're insane, a monster, you put words in my mouth!
Your actions are nothing short of inhumane,
Your family loves you, but you're not the same.
"One phonecall" is what they usually give,
Or so we thought, but the ringing lives.
Leave us alone, you've done enough damage!
The pain you've caused needs more than a bandage!

In Christ alone, my hope is salvaged,
Your stay, I pray, is underprivileged.
I ache for you to feel MY pain!
You've killed a friendship, my heart, slain.
I beg God for my brother back,
But you don't understand that He's cut you your slack!
We keep handing over a silver platter
With opportunities galore, but it doesn't matter.
Selfishness contains your soul,
Your choices make our family sore.
I do not know if your remorse is true,
But again, I'll say, "I love you."

Removing my shoes, I step up to the entrance.
I close my eyes, my perception to enhance.
I want to feel that magical touch,
The hand of Jesus, whose love is enough.
Each step I take, I take with care,
I'm trying to see, to feel if He's there.
I'm trying too hard, I stop and stare,
At the floor beneath, my feet, bare.
I silently beg for a walk with Christ,
To know He's there, my path, He'll light.
My hands stretch down, facing the floor,
I feel the warm touch of the One I adore.
He's got my hand, and He's leading me through,
Healing my wounds and making me new.
We walk and talk, I never want to leave,
The presence of this God, I can finally see,
There's more to this faith than things taught in churches.

Nearing the exit, His warmth starts to fade.
I ask Him to stay, a confession I've made.
"I haven't put you first! I'm not a good daughter!"
"You're mine, and I love you. I am your Heavenly Father."
I fall to the ground, and the warmth evaporated.
His hand was gone, had He departed?

A brush on my shoulder tells me He's with me.
This maze I'm in is something amazing.
My walk in the Labyrinth was one to remember,
My Lord, God, and Savior, with whom I have favor.

Comfort and safety are things I feel seldom,
I ask God to lock up my room, a coliseum.
It's here I've died, left things behind,
Can't hear, can't breathe, I'm losing my mind.
This prison I've created has hold of my happiness,
I want to run, scream, shout, til I'm full of bliss.
Careless bliss, I'm done with the trouble,
So long since I've walked, I trip and stumble.

Remember, though, I locked the door,
I didn't want out, I didn't see more
Of anything important, I was waiting to die.
Figured God led me to this, He's why I cry!
This life, so miserable, I shove off the blame,
To the One who saves, loves, He came
To earth to die, why have I been so blind?

I've changed my mind, I'm ready to move,
Been stagnant so long, I've got nothing to lose.
God, bring me through this mess I'm in,
There's no one else who can help me win!
Unlock my door, let me fly!
Mend my wings, I want to try!
I've been so stubborn and used like a toy,
Now, it's time to choose joy.

26 months I had to prepare,
Of importance or relationship I was not aware.
Born into friendship, you were so lucky.
I never know the next time you'll hug me.
"Brother" they say, is the proper title,
But "Friend" says it better, there is no equal.
None can divide the connection we share,
The laughter, acceptance, and mutual prayer.

Distance, they say, makes the heart grow fonder,
I know for sure I can't wait much longer.
The distance pains me, but I'm doing my best.
Please don't be angry, please don't fret.
I'll be home soon, reunited again.
They have no idea what words have been said.
Through Hell and back is where we've been,
Hand in hand, you should be my twin.

Gravity makes us fall, but we reverse the effects,
I invite your desire to overprotect.
I know its of love, and I hold you dearly,
You'll be in my heart for all of eternity.

Within the depths of my heart is where yours may lay,
like sisters, but closer, because we pray.
God brought us together and let us be family.
We look at old pictures and laugh oh so childishly!
My life, without you, would be dark, dim, and dreary.
Childhood would be different, re-writing my history.
You know where I am, and you know where I've been,
I know who you are, and how to make you grin.
Telepathy and encoded messages are how we communicate,
Words are unneeded, unnecessary, they have no weight.
A sparkle in your eye can write me a novel,
At our friendship, and sisterhood, I marvel.
