Midnight Thoughts (vol.2) | Poetry

My Savior

Eleven years ago
I had a dream
Where I walked in a dark valley
With no one else to see

I tried to scream
No one heard me
It was when I met darkness for the first time
And let it live inside me

Now I had this dream again
My lonely self couldn't help
But cry in despair
Afraid of the darkness
That grew inside me
And didn't go away

But this time
Something different happened
I wasn't alone
When I cried and sobbed
My knees scratching on the ground
I felt a hand on my shoulders

I felt someone kneeling beside me
Wrapping His arms around me
And saying everything would be alright

I looked up at Him
And saw my Savior
The one who didn't abandon me
Or forsook me
When everyone left
He was still there

And He said:
"My child..."
"Don't cry anymore."
"I'm still here"
But I still cried,
on His shoulders
He let me cry
Until I was dry of tears
And His white robes
soaked with my tears.
And with His stained hand
He wiped my teary eyes

I held His hand
glancing at the wound in it
"Did it hurt?" I asked
He nodded
"Very much. But I did it for you"
I shook my head, feeling guilty
"I don't deserve it",
I whispered, sobbing again,
"I can't be saved. I tried everything"
He still stood there, and smiled at me
"You're my child, and I choose you."
"This darkness is not the end of your life"
"But a trial that you can overcome."
"Believe me, my child."
"You are stronger than you think."
"I'll be with you in every step of the way."
"You just have to call My name."
"And I'll always answer"

I stood there,
so small and weak
But He saw me as a fighter
And loved me with all my weaknesses

And now, for Him only
I'll overcome the darkness
