Bruises

The devil used you
to lure him away,now
what are you going to
tell people with your 
face bruised that way.

She told you she 
would catch you with
him one day,I wonder
if the bruises on your 
face was worth the pay.

For six long years
he has walked with
God,but your wink and 
your smile caught his 
lustful eye.

I pray if you don't know
Jesus in the freepardon 
of sin,that you will fall on 
your face and ask for
forgiveness of your sin.

This reminds me of the saying,'If you play with fire, you're bound to get burnt'. Looks like somebody got caught...good write Marie.
