Man's Story

Dark, Empty, Blank.
Pointless, Dead.

He sees me,
I hate Him.
Black, Thoughtless, Mean.
Angry, Hurt.

Looking in my eyes,
I could kill Him.
Blood, Torture, Pain.
Helpless, Evil.

He steps toward me,
I glare at Him.
Scorn, Despise, Hate.
Loosing, Fall.

He opens His arms,
I nail them there.
Grief, Question, Think.
Falter, Doubt.

He loves me,
I don't understand.
Stop, Wonder, Stare.
Regret, Wince.

He died for me,
I want Him.
Awe, Worry, Kneel.
Upset, Cry.

He lives for me,
I love Him.
Hope, Colour, Light.
Revealed, Saved.
