a life exploded

You watched me suffer

You watched me drown

The pain was endless

Even after I left town

My mind wasnt clear

My thoughts were nothing but fear

The things I did were because you were bendless

Unseen torture with searing heat

In my heart was nothing but defeat

No where to go

No where to hide

In my soul I wish I had died

The trials were endless

The pain seemed unending

After so long

I saw it bending

Back toward me

My life became free

Now I give it to Him

He was my only true friend

The lessons I learned

Because I was so burned

Are lessons I treasure

Beyond any measure

Thoughtful cautious and now very clean

I understand now what I was supposed to have seen

Many years ago I wish I had known

Thank God I know now befor my chance was blown
