No More

No More

She sat stunned, wounded and exhausted
Looking ahead, she saw without seeing
No more, no more, she cried

The darts had been swift, their accuracy 
Sure, this must be the end
No more, no more, she cried

He had attacked and left, convinced
Of his justification…how could he do this?
No more, no more, she cried

Suddenly a light filled the room
Before her was a man with love in His eyes
He listened as she cried, “No more”

His nail-scarred hand took hers in His
Love flowed over her as chains began to fall
He then gently asked her if that was enough

She looked up, eyes filled with joy
No, more…no, more, she gently cried
