I need a hero

Let me slice a little deeper , maybe I'll feel.
Staring at the glistening blade ,watching the flesh begin to divide.
the scarlet liquid oozes up ,tainting the silver edge .
A silence, a heart beat. Is it mine ?
What should have left a stinging burn , only peels away with ease.
Shaking ,blinking back the tears .
The pulsing grows ,pushing a stream of wetness into my hands .
With arms out stretch , fist taut.From the pit of my belly , a cry escapes.
Agony has over taken me .
Throwing my head back letting the tear cleanse my face.
Falling to my knees , I ask for gods love and protection .
And to look what I have done .
Please , Forgive me in the Name of your only begotten Son .
I hold out my hands to you . Send Mercy running to me .
curling up on the cold floor , to break the chill.
Thank you Father for letting me feel.
Quietly , I whimper as a hand touches me.
The voice sweeter then any Angel singing, spoke Out my Name.
I'm here my child , all you had to do was call.
I'm beside you, I gave my only Son to wash away your sins.
This is now His cross to bare. Feeling the calm take over me .
I began to believe in an almighty Love . The One and Only GoD above.
My Hero....

    This poem is wonderful, truly wonderful. It starts out so dark and then has a liberating end.

    Thanks for entering.

    Amazing! Very spritual and in a contest like this it wasn't what I expected. It's good that your poem is unique. This is one of my favorites so far. Great job!

        The major thing to focus on is NOT writing it for anyone but yourself. If others enjoy it good for them, but it doesn't matter as long as you wrote it for yourself.
