TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

MY HEART BECAME HOLLOW,
ITS WALLS OF LOVE HAD CRUMBLED 
WHEN I KISSED THE LIPS OF DECEPTION 
AND SWALLOWED HER SALIVA OF LIES.

I KNEW I HAD COME TO MY END,
AND LIFE HAD NO MEANING 
FROM THAT INSTANT.

THE MOUNTAINS PEAK 
WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH
TO CAST MY TORMENTED SOUL FROM,
NEITHER WAS THE FLOOR OF THE SEA
SUFFICIENT FOR MY ETERNAL REST.

AND JUST WHEN I WAS ABOUT 
TO ROLL THE DICE, WITH SATAN HIMSELF,
THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED.

A MIRACLE EVOLVED,  
AS THOUGH THE HEAVENS IN ITS FULLNESS 
FLOODED MY ENTIRE BEING 
WITH HER UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,
FILLING THE VACUUM 
OF MY ONCE BETRAYED HEART.

IT TOOK THE LOVE OF A WOMAN 
TO HEAL THE PAINS AND SUFFERING
LEFT BEHIND BY THE LUST OF MY HEART,
THE ONE WHOSE BEAUTY 
WAS ONLY SKINN DEEP,
AND WHOSE CRAFTINESS, 
WAS HER WAY OF LIFE.

WILFORD BARKER.
