Closer to light

Thick air

Darkness like a second skin

Smothered prayers

Stuck somewhere between loss and sin

Angels at the gate just

Staring through a frozen sky

Blanket stare on my chest

I forget how to cry

My hands are cold

My name is slipping

I hear the choir start to rise

One step back from existing

Then I feel you right beside

I’m fading out but your touch brings me closer to life

Your halo bears down on everything I’ve survived

Make the wrong feel right

All of my sinful little shadows fall away in your light

I’m fading out but your touch brings me closer to life

Late night

Breathing like a broken hymn

Thin line

Between what I was and what I’ve been

Angels count my quiet failures

One by one above my head

You just take my shaking fingers

Pull me back from the edge

If this is judgment

Let it be

Your heartbeat pounding over me

If this is ending

Let me stay

In this small forever where you say my name
