Hosea: a poetic monologue

Written by: Bethany Gersetich (for The Project: Hosea)

Wrapped up in darkness
Only then was it safe to cry

But you found me where I was crying,
pulled me out of my despair
Took this void, filled it with more
Your love was a promise

I sought others, I turned away
Only then was I alone

But you found me where I was lying
You drove away my solitude
You cured these scars on my heart
Your love was my comfort

I let you take my pain, watched you suffer because of me
Only then could i see

You found me where I was dying
You saved me from my insanity
You restored me.
Your love was my light.

Now I can never leave your side
I can't see any other.
Only You could take me back.

You are love.
