You drug me down in my despair,
you shamed me into staying there,
made me feel that no one cared,
I was a prisoner in the devil's lair
Every time I gathered up strength,
you assured me you were my friend
Went on & on to great lengths,
you loved me when others didn't
I'd given more than I really had
held you whenever you were sad
but you never gave me anything back,
leaving me broken & in your grasp
I was focused on that tiny light
that shone in my heart, so bright
I knew there was a better life
not with you but Jesus
Christ
I called out to God in Jesus's name,
asked him to heal this heart of pain,
to let me walk in the light
again,
allow peace of mind to begin
as I planned my
disentanglement
from life with you &
punishment
for a power that was heaven
sent
and now I cherish life's every moment
