I OPEN THE DOOR by Heaven's Demon

I open the door and peer at the seemingly impenetrable darkness inside. All around me is bright light and in front of the door is a full length mirror. Yes no light can penetrate this gloom. I call out, "my beautiful angel come out." I hear your tears hitting the stone floor. I can feel how heavy this darkness is and at that moment I realize you can not stand alone under it's weight. You can barely move to breathe. The ones who left you here have left you weakened and alone. They stripped you bare and told you that you are flawed. When I sensed this I began the walk through the dark till I stood by your side. I hold out my hand to the sound of your tears.

And I whisper, "trust me, take my hand, i'll take you back to where you belong." in a trembling voice I hear, "they told me this is where I belong, where no one can see me. Then they left cause I'm not worthy." my hand stays steady as I kneel and whisper in her ear, "tis them who aren't worthy as they know if they had brought you into the light you would have known them for the liars they are. You would have left them because they are not worthy of you. And you have no fear, as I will be with you the entire way. I'll never leave your side on this long journey." a trembling hand reaches up to grab mine, and the moment it touches I know that is where it belongs.

I pull you to your feet and place one arm around your waist and pulling your arm around my shoulder so I can help you under this heavy darkness. Slowly we begin walking towards that distant light. A couple times you falter and want to give up but I tell you, "I'm here my beautiful one. I'm still here. Use my strength to help you press on. I am yours and yours alone. And you are my pride and joy" this trek is long and far from over and I know this. But I will do whatever it takes to bring you back to the light where you belong till you can stand looking in that mirror and see the most radiant woman this world could have ever hold for me. Step by step we walk in each others arms, my whisper constantly in your ear, "you are mine and I love you."
