Love Saved Me

by Melissa Arel

Life became so difficult
but not harsh

It became chaos lost in my mind

My eyes covered
by a thick blackness

Fog dimming my heart

Felt dead

Almost lost forever

But Love came and saved me

Kept me away

My innocence
not lost but tainted

Can never be washed away
by water

But cleansed
through blood

My blood isn't sufficient
isn't pure

It took a holy man to wake me up

He took the pain
for a dead girl

Bore hell for me

And now I belong to Him

Love saved me
Jesus Christ saved me

Indeed! A love of yours that some of us know is indeed the purest and most unshakeable in your life...
