Indeed I Died For You- by Comfort Nelson

After listening to plenty Janette Ikz, one day I sat in front of my computer, typed one sentence in an attempt to write my own poem and the words wouldn't stop flowing, I still can't believe it!!! Here's my first published poem... I struggled to decide if I should post this or not because I know the content of this poem will put me in trouble. But let me just sound this note of warning in advance- please nobody, I repeat, NOBODY should come and ask me who inspired this poem, because my answer is and will remain "it is just a poem ooo". I really hope there's more where this came from but for now enjoy this Valentine's day special. I hope you like it.

Indeed I died for You- by Comfort Nelson

It still hurts when I think about it

The very day I heard the news that you were leaving me

Is a day that’s hard to forget

In that moment

I gasped for air but couldn’t find much

I tried to scream but I couldn’t find my voice

I tried laughter, this must be a bad joke

But it wasn’t even April fool’s day

I sat still, didn’t move much

Held my phone in my hands, stared still

Didn’t blink much

Hands frozen, yet shaky

The walking dead looked more alive than I was

I closed my eyes and in my mind, I counted one to ten

Hoping that at the count of ten

I would be awoken from this nightmare

Cos this certainly must be a dream

But at ten, I looked again, it was still real

As real as the day I kissed you for the first time

And felt like I could die happy in your arms
Trembling like a little Princess
Who's just had her first kiss from Prince Charming
Cos baby, your kiss was "The Awakening"

I felt like I was finally home

And it didn’t matter what was going on in the world

As long as you kiss me, I will be alright.

My perfect escape

Every day with you was a vacation

My calm in the storm

OMG it’s really over!

Now you are the storm…

This is the end of a journey that barely even started

A dream that barely had the chance to grow

A caterpillar crushed at infancy on its way to becoming a beautiful butterfly

Like a plane that got grounded at take off

Like a volcano about to erupt

We were just on our groove

Nothing could remove you

Or so I thought, wrong move...

Every moment with you felt like I was on the moon

Dining with the stars and telling them how I would die for you

And I know you felt so too

So why did you have to go

So soon? Boo

Tell me I’m not being crazy when I say

This wasn’t just physical

It was a spiritual connection

I found me in you

You were my mirror

A reflection of the better part of me

Conversation flow like liquid

Hugs fit like a custom made suit

Like the type Harvey wears in Suits

I was the nut to your screw and you were mine

Nothing about us was wrong

You were supposed to be my lifelong
We only needed a little more time
To reach our prime
But you chose the easy way out
You bailed out

Remember how we couldn’t get enough of each other?
How time flies when we are together?

Every time you say goodbye, I was back to missing you again

Well, my wish to the stars did come through,  

Indeed I died for you

My heart shot right out of my chest

Sudden bullet like an unwanted guest

And you my love, pulled the trigger

I hoped it was just a test

But as the clock ticked with zest

Reality began set in

I felt something hot drop on my face

What was that? I began to trace

I was able to unfreeze a tiny finger on my still hands

So I could feel my face

Cos the drip drop was so hot I thought I was being bathed in acid

But alas, it was just my tears…

Revealing my fears

Tears of passion so hot, I could feel the little bumps on my face melting

To form an even bigger scar

But I was beyond lost to care

I’ve got 99 problems

A scarred face isn’t one.

I let the tears roll for days

Cos they say it’s the best way to heal, let it all out

But I wasn’t making progress

In an attempt to let go of distress

I finally put on a dress

Ready to shake off the stress

But I came back even more depressed

Cos everything reminded me of how I didn’t want to live in a world without you.

Then I knew I needed a higher help

From a deeper and stronger source

A source I could drink from and thirst no more

I recall I once met someone like that

Someone who came as a man but isn’t really a man

But I hadn’t paid him much attention

He is someone who can calm a storm with 2 words “Be Still”!

A higher presence, capable of giving peace beyond human comprehension

The one who promises joy like a river

And delivers

The promise keeper

Light in the darkness

The way, the truth and the life

The only one capable of giving unconditional love

Because He is Love

The one who would never leave me

Nor forsake me

He knows all of me and parts of me that I am yet to meet

The good, the bad, the very ugly

And yet loves me more than His own life.

So I found Him again

Scratch that… He found me!

His name is JESUS

I had been long lost but He never gave up the search for my soul

Till I surrendered

Then he began his good work in me

Took out the wreck that was my former heart

And transplanted a new heart in me

With a renewed right spirit

Indeed I died and resurrected a new creature

A new creature in Christ

I am Immortal

He helped me believe again

And showed me the path to take

He gave me a confident hope

So I could trust again

But this time not in mere mortals but in Him

He gave me a promise to restore and settle me

And I believed him, I mean, how could I not?

This is a man who died for me before I ever met him

He didn’t have to but He knew I needed a Saviour

And He volunteered without hesitation

He breathe life into my failing lungs

And he’s been my oxygen ever since

He never runs out

This is how I know I am safe now

I am finally where I belong

The King of kings is my Father

I am a lost but found Princess

Bought with the blood of the lamb

I am priceless

Blameless before him

Needless to say,

The future is bright

Because in him, I move and live and have my being.
