Redeemed



His betrayal divulged
Naked, exposed,
Enraged by his misbehaving
Words of clemency die on my tongue.
Deceived, I no longer seek
Shelter in saccharine whispers.

Your soft breath and sighs
Advancing, receding,
Endowed with the gift of believing
Embed faith into my icy heart.
Cherished, I no longer wander
Forsaken in treacherous visions.

My slumbering soul
Awakened, released,
Washed by a flood of revealing
Devotion dwells in your eyes.
Changed, I no longer chase a
Life only lived in my dreams.
