Love Kept Me

I could sit here with an evil glare in my eyes

Make up the most horrible stories and lies

Contemplating and mustering up hate

Then I would only be a reflection of who you wanted me to be

Instead, I'll sit patiently speaking honestly and positively

Denouncing every thought of evil that would try to rise it self above the love that's inside of me

You should be glad that it covers a multitude of your sins against me

I could even mention in detail how your influence and seduction almost sent me to hell

But the power of God wouldn't let the results of heart break, tears and pain prevail

It was His love that saved me.

The same love that I had for you after all the suffering and disrespect I endured to prove my love and loyalty to you was true

Silly me,

After 5 years and I saw that the word commitment was foreign to you

I should have been through with you

It was love and hope that you would one day see

That my love for you was real and given unselfishly

Though I knew it was true

When everyone said "girl he is using you"

Hope kept me believing your twisted lies

In my mind I thought you knew how to love me

The reality was that you couldn't love past shallow

Self seeking binges of self gratification that you tried to live through me.

Afraid of showing that you loved me would make you look weak

Selfish you had to maintain your image as the freak

By the time you realize this beautiful women given to you as a gift from God

It will be too late because I've already moved on.

You had 10 years of opportunity and our last episode almost killed me

Again

Love would not let me die.

Yes, God has put so much inside of me

So why should I hide the gifts of love and peace from the world.

If only posting a poem a day

while I'm unemployed to know that my gift is not going to waste

I will share with the world

If I believe my little poem would make this world a better place

It's no longer about what will be stolen or taken away

Cause at the end of the day

I know someone felt the love that flows through these words

My intention is to show that true love can't be erased.

I've moved on now, leaving you right where you are because your wickedness can only go but so far.

The love inside of me can't be taken away

It's an eternal gift given to me free

For me to give free

So why should I be bitter, boasting about how you showed me how much you hated me.

That chapter in my life was the opportunity for me to see about me

Now it's time for me to elevate and draw in my prosperity that soon awaits me

Lately I've been feeling like nothing matters at all

Now that I have clarity, cleared my conscience of sins that I couldn't before see

trying to undo those ill things that got the best of me

All the while forgiving you

Never again to let you whisper in my ear those words that were never clear

While calling your self making love to me

Slurs of poignant seduction lust and

Spells of mental control, confusion, and deductions

Through you verbal seduction

Love wouldn't let your plans follow through and to my soul

Love, that power source that provides and protects and keeps those who honor it in check

It corrects, and speaks and inspires the spirit when it gets weak

It holds and consoles you when all else seems dim and bleak

Love gives me permission to not love what you do but forgive and still love you!

Because Love Kept Me
