Unlocked

Shut away from it all,
Not strong enough to love,
You appeared like an apparition.
A ghost beckoning to me to follow you.

Locked away from the world,
You opened my heart
and that wasn’t easy.
You breathed life into my body,
And sang honeyed words into my ear.
Reminded me of my purpose.

My love for you is unchanging, undying, unwavering.
A new life awaits.
A new path has formed.
The gray sky has suddenly cleared
And the words are flowing from my mind.

No longer a prisoner of my own fear and anxiety.
They give me strength much like you do.
Unlocked, freed, and finally at peace.
Because of you.
