Redeemer

Who are you?
What have you become? 
All you do is crave for blood,
All you do is hide in the dark.

Did you have a choice?
Or was it just fate?
Can you tame the hunger inside?
Is it haunting you?

For you are my redeemer
For you are my life
But all I see is hate in your eyes
For all I know is you want to die.

I can't taste your pain
and I can't make it better.
Nothing seems exciting, always the same hiding.

It's haunting you nonstop.
Amen.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing a reality I hope you are able to overcome, and face with victory. Meanwhile, may I cheer you up 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." God bless you.
