Taken...

Redemption was supposed to be mine

Providence was our promise

a promise that fell through the cracks

the struggle was fought

but the battle was not won

the testimony was spoken 

but over time it burned to ash

slowly like a serum

it dripped out like poison

a long slow awaited death

one that you knew was coming

but not one you could prepare for

it pummeled my heart 

it shattered my soul

you find a way through

because there is no way out
