Saved
I don’t know who I am anymore
Last night I was laid bleeding on the floor
Asking myself who I was
As the devil stood up in applause
Asking for an encore he yelled and shouted in my head
But I just kept bleeding even though I made it to my bed
Off the floor and onto the bed, I was that much closer to God
But the feeling was very odd
I am dying with every breath I take
Because the devil got me wrapped tighter than a cold-blooded snake
I am surrounding with his power and what he has to offer
No more blood left in me as I take my last breath
The only thing on my mine is a cold death
The lights go out and there is only darkness
In which I know not where to go
Wishing for that small little light to come
But that’s a place I just came from
So where am I now?
Did I get rejected into the pits of hell
Wait no it can’t be because I never fell
I hear a voice, that of God, no it was that of a girl
I can’t believe how beautiful she is like a shiny pearl
Patience is the word she used
Asking her why should I after my life has been bruised
Time she said, only time will tell
Right I said as I still don’t know if I am in heaven or hell
Ignorant fool as she yelled to me
Cant do nothing but agree
Insightful words she said to me to get me through
Associating myself with something false was so untrue
Eyes opening for the darkness of a lonely place
I am no longer bleeding but I look at myself in the mirror in disgrace
My name is Jeremy as I say to myself
She then said you do know who you are you were just lost
I said thank you as she gave me the Lords cross
She saved me in ways she will never know
Looking at her and all her beauty
I say thank you for you helped me when my life wasn’t on duty
This has nothing to do with God and the devil
This poem is so much deeper and on a higher level
If someone does understand this poem then I stand up and applaud you
For you have read this poem and didn’t read the surface but read through
This is a part that’s deeper than the sea
Because all I want to do with you is run free
And one plus one equals two
