the Only One

free me from this cage
locked away deep within myself
gently lift my shattered frame
that's been beaten upon
for age upon age

breathe new air into me
and set my heart beating once more
I've lost all hope
but I believe that only you
can set me free

put the light back into my eyes
and get me out of this dungeon
set deep within myself
break the lock that my captor
said would keep me alive

oh, please
you're the only one
I've been kept here for so long
winking in and out of existence
broken, shattered, and lost
stolen and locked away
