i am shaken and awoken,
naked i am now
face to face
with the very demon i ran from.
his heat radiates and is burning my skin.
my voice is gone, along with my pride.
ashamed and embarrassed
i fail to collapse.
my bones will not even obey my selfish desires.
i smell the burnt skin and i begin to
hope for death.
thoughts, askew in my mind, wander to the surface.
he reaches through my tear filled eyes
and takes them.
he confiscates my vulnerability & i am empty.
i beg for any kind of abolishment.
he replies with an idea,
i try again to collapse.
the room starts spinning and i cannot fall.
again, no sense of control.
his idea has pierced the air.
He has all the control until i demand it.
his idea was just one word.
one action in which my hope is restored.
one action where i am set back, free.
one action where i am in control.
forgiveness.
