Trapped in a world
not my own.
Lost
desperate to find my way home.

How have I fallen?
These secrets
now haunt me.

Paralyzed, shut out from you,
I am alone
captivated by my temptations.
This feeling is breaking me
crushing my lungs
so that I cannot breathe.

The harder I scream
the more I alone I am.

I call out “ Save me!
for I am lost,
rescue me from this night
take me away from these fears
break these chains that now bind me.”

And then in the ******
of the tempest.
When the waves
were higher than my head.
When I felt the water envelope my lungs
when all I knew was gone
and I had realized how lost I was.

Your voice alone
reached out from the mist.
Brought clarity to the shroud
and found this broken soul.

You were all that I had
all that I held on too.

What love is this?
that you would reach down
and save me
who once was so dearly lost.
