I heard your cries in the dark Your screams as he held you down When you begged Him to help you And I saw him watch you drown. I heard your heartbeat slow As blood tickled down your arm And my hatred grew As he continued to allow your harm. I saw you trying to escape With any substance within reach Fires burned within me As you attached another leech. I have seen all of this All of your pain and tears But you couldn't hear me So you endured the spears. My screams grew louder As the years passed in pain Until you heard me in a dream Like thunder in the rain. I know that it hurt When I showed you the truth That I watched all those years All the pain of your youth. I am the reason Your calls to death were ignored I protected your soul So your heart could be restored. But now you know That I walk beside you I'm your light in the dark The one you can turn to.
If not Him, who?
