Edging Out the Night

All of my words are spent It was words who rent…my soul I have used them to bleed, need, plead My case before those who judge, forcefully nudge, but never budge in the presence of undying LOVE No more…NO….MORE…. I will not take one more step, I will not move beyond My humiliation Is there no one to lift my head A Prince, perhaps… Stupid little girl, get a grip, take a tasty sip, maybe pooch your lip… Faith, love, and hope I have lifted my sword before I have escaped darkness and know bondage no more But live, to actually breathe in those three Take hold of those powerful sources inside me Requires great courage…of which…I have none I thought I was a woman of light A ray of hope piercing evil I find myself lost in the mesh Of all that is unbelievable Wild, untouchable, undesirable My heart is HIS And I smile as I know what that means I am not my own And so, His blood has washed me clean And I will know this sorrow NO MORE…. Written by Trudy Schrader 2010 Note: It is a hard lesson to learn...those who hold the power to love us to freedom also has the power to destroy us. It's all in who you chose to give your power of choice to.
