For Us

I fought for us,
I cried for us,
I lied for us,
I tried to keep us.

You are the one who fought me 
You are the one who made me cry 
You are the one who made me lie
You are the one that kept us, in the dark.

Now I'm free,
Now I can live 
Now I can cry tears of joy,
Now I dont have to lie
Now, I dont have to try.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
