Love Poem: Real Love

Real Love

They told me they loved me
 since early in my youth
But through lies and deceptions 
I found their love far from the truth
So i was left to my own devices, 
I had to find my own way
I suffered losses and torment 
from vicious games people played
Then at 27 years old
 I decided to take an unpopular stand 
And decided to swallow a bunch of pills
I held for hours in my hands
I  awoke in intensive care
 with monitors measuring each shallow breath
And there by my bedside
 waited the Angel of death.
Then a light filled my cold dark  room
 and it also filled my soul
And a voice whispered from it, 
" Ive come to make your life whole."
God granted me mercy and kindness
As his spirit entered me.
Im no longer troubled by this world
 for inside im set free.
I dont claim to be perfect
 for im still riddled with flaws.
I realize its not by my strenght
 but from all that he does.
So if my story touches your heart 
how God set me free,
He will do it for you too
 if he did it for someone like me.
