Saved

He was there
A dimly lit room, a neatly made bed
Fear I tried to swallow, but choked on
I heard the whisper, no one else did
It was in my head, then it was gone
"No"
Shouldn't it have been screams, heard outside
With the cavalry rushing to save
"No damage done, thank God we're in time
In the future, you two must behave"
Making no waves, I can't find my way free
My virtue slipped far away now
Where did one of us end, the other begin
No more two people here somehow
Locked in a pattern, repeated at will
If only somebody knew
No one named names, nobody suspected
My Sundays were torn in two
But Someone was with me, Someone not inside
He held me, not touching raw skin
Someone Who suffered on Calvary's cross high
He died so I live in Him
Though I don't know, I don't understand
How He loves me, yet let me be hurt
He was there
All-seeing, all-powerful God
In the room, where I lay inert
Answers I don't have, questions I do
That will never be fully explained
Darkness surrounded me then, yet I know
There is Light, for I'm saved in His name
