Free Thanks To You

I'm held in confinement,
Locked up in my heart.
The door will never open.

There are keys in the lock,
The lock's on my side.
Yet the door does not budge.

I've tried all my life,
And all I have left
Is a wound from my efforts.

With meds and a bandage,
A needle and meth,
Still it bleeds like before.

Screamed through daylight,
Yelled all night.
No one has come to my rescue.

Yet you have come through,
Silent and stealthy,
Behind me to give me a fright.

You set me free outside,
Took away my pain.
Released me into the light.

A world where we laugh,
Happiness prospers.
Light glowing brightly from you.
