The Message

Today he played the message
I heard her voice
My heart constricted
It had no choice 
Who is this man 
that robbed my soul
Why did he do it
Turn me to stone 
Yesterday is over 
The future unclear
Brittle bones shaking I face the fear
To him I gave my hand
my honor and trust
Into my heart the dagger he thrust
Grinning in apathy he smashed my soul
Now I am wandering bleak and alone

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.
