Write About Love
As my flesh defeated spirit, I continued to lay down in my own sin.
Drunk from the night before, I woke up and did it again.
Sleeping with the devil, entangled in his sheets..
He tortured my insides until I could no longer speak.
I couldn't tell you how I felt because I didn't really know.
I couldn't tell you about my scars because there were none to show.
Mentally, I was dead. Spiritually, I was beat. Physically, I was abandoned.
It was hurt that I never thought would end.
Who could possibly save a girl who relied on alcohol to make her feel satisfied.
A girl was suicidal and believed her very own lies? I knew my days were coming to an end.
I had no life left in myself to defend.
But I woke up one morning and I saw a new story in my eyes.
I washed off the makeup that helped my disguise. I went to church that night and have my life to Christ.
I burned away all the hurts and pains so that I could truly begin to change.
All those times I tried to overdose on pills and vodka, God has his Angela by my side, allowing me to hold on.
I had so much more work to do on this Earth before I was gone.
This secret life I was living with the devil, God was fighting for my life the whole time.
He can save you, if he could save mine. I had a friend right here all along, he was there to shed light when I was wrong.
I can do nothing but thank the man above..
If it wasn't for him, I couldn't write about love.
