She was haunted by her dark past
shadows of a life in sin
She would wake up from terrifying
nightmares
Revisited by the demons who once
held her in captivity
To be haunted in a dream was one thing
To see the darkness while she was awake
was another
The horrible visions of blood and rage
consumed her both night and day
Her oppression was getting the best of
her
She sat in a corner with shades drawn
rocking back and forth covering her eyes
"When will this stop O'Lord ?" she cried
in a blood curdling scream
"Save me from this hell."
Exhausted by her effort of salvation, she
fell limp on the floor like a rag doll
She awoke to an outstretched hand asking
for hers
She slowly put her hand in the other and
felt an overwhelming sense of peace.
She was rescued from her own private hell
by the hand of God
