Gaslight Poem by christian salvador

GASLIGHT

i looked for love in wrong places

stained my soul picking others traces

drowned deep into an ocean of mess

i knew precautions but i digress

i exchanged the light for something

i thought would be radiant

i was wrong..coz it was not

what i thought was the right path

proving myself into this world

i exhausted all my resources

i relied, leaned to ways so mundane

now im lost, aimless and drained

sorry Lord, if i astrayed and blunder

thanks you prevented me from slipping further

you are my gaslight through the darkness

your fire is unextuinguished like no one else`s

now i have the inner glow, escaping from the inside

like no amount of jewelries can provide

now i break loose to things i once thought

can duplicate the kind of joy that Jesus brought

i would never again push your hands away

that do nothing but to catch me

i would exhibit myself, so they can see

i shine, coz now Jesus, the gaslight in me
