Darkness surrounds me
Depression takes hold
Chains hold me captive
The air is so cold.
Fear settles in
I try to get free
No light in this darkness
I wish I could see.
A lock clicks lightly
My heart jumps in my throat
A door opens softly
They're coming to gloat.
The soft sound of footsteps
Reaches my ears
The flare of a match
Lighting my fears
But the face that I see
Is not the one I expected
It looks on mine with
Love I thought I'd rejected.
A hand reaches out
And unlocks my chains
I'm finally free
To love again.
