This is your most vulnerable hour
Sitting all alone in the dark
Weight on your chest,
Smoke in your head
And voices whispering tempting words.

Walls pressing in, ceiling imploding
Heart rate escalating
Lungs choking
Water floods in, knocking you flat
In your most desperate hour,

Screaming but no sound is heard
Flesh splitting open, leaking
Life-fluid, dyed crimson.
Eyes wide with fear, growing dim
Losing hope but pleading release.

This is your most treacherous hour
Made the climb to find
Everyone else came, but left you behind.
Agony wrenching your soul
Broken, abandoned and alone.

You're not alone.

This is your most vulnerable hour
Taking the leap from darkness to light
Speaking the lies and cutting the binds
Pulling up the blinds, exposing all you've locked inside
Dumping the skeletons from the closet
For Love to hear and see.

You're forgiven, now you're free.
