"Power Don't Fail Me Now" And Other Poems

God Help Me, Now

He pounded on the door
Each bang I heard brought him closer to me
I hid in my closet
God help me, now

He broke in my house
Gun in hand
Fury in eyes
I silently prayed
God help me, now

He kicked open doors
I held in my sobs
He was getting closer
God help me, now

"Come out!" He shouted
I remained silent
He got to the last door and knew
I heard his breathing as he opened the door
"Only God can help you, now"

This is another poem I wrote maybe a month ago. I never realized how good it actually was until I reread it. Let me know what you think. 😃
