Tears spring to my eyes as I am writing this review. Such a powerful testimony about prayer, and choosing to go to the Saviour for help. He is the one who has all the right answers, and is eager to forgive even the unlovely.
You chose wisely.
A well written poem, revealing the raw emotions of one who chose to love the One who first loved her.
Be blessed.

Comment from adewpearl
solid use of rhyming couplets
To scared to say a word - Too scared
Jesus, if - add the comma for direct address
if i'm going to die - I'm
good alliteration in fell to the floor
a thoughtful poem about how faith can help a person stand up to any bad situation in order to change one's life around :-) Brooke

Comment from cinderbella
This one could have been written about me, and it touched me very deeply. "I thought you were mine" is so revealing, for my ex treated me like I was his possession. Extremely well-written and flows nicely. For me, the message says, we cannot belong to another human being, for we are His. The artwork you chose was perfect. :) Sandra

Comment from joneau2
Whew, what a mixed emotional poem worded so eloquently, and full of feelings. You evoked a feeling of thanks for being saved, adoration of God for answering your prayers and salvation. Then, you introduce the mundane ... the sense of sadness when your husband agrees to the divorce. Very well done.
Oh, one catch. "To scared to say a word ..." - To s/b Too. :)

You did follow the prompt well in this poem, it brought out the darker side of love, love gone wrong, strong images and graphic emotions, it brought out inner and outer difficulties, nice work, good luck.

A very deep and spiritual poem. When there's love, the existence of pain can very well be inevitable.Sigh.
It's often best to move on
God Bless

Comment from Jewell McChesney
She left him with his mean streak,that he hid inside
Witch [which] only came out at home where they did reside
To scared to say a word,her mind just thought a prayer,
Jesus if i'm going to die I'm glad you are my savior.
this is pretty good until the last line. It doesnt fit but perhaps you did that on purpose?
I singed [signed] the papers when they came,now we don't share the same name.

Thank you for your review and pointing out my mistakes,I went back and made the corrections to it. It was to read we don't share the same last name.

I singed the papers
I'm wondering if you might have meant, "signed" the papers?
You describe a frightening and anxious moment - glad it had a positive resolve!

Comment from expressions9
This is a captivating poem dear writer. The imagery is vivid and the story flows with good rhyming couplets. A oouple of spags:
(Which) only came out at home where they did reside
(Too) scared to say a word, her mind just thought a prayer,
Jesus if (I'm) going to die I'm glad you are my savior.
It's so sad to hear of experiences like these which many endure. Your poem has conveyed well the lady's emotions.
All the best in the contest!
God bless,
Christine

Your rhyming couplets read well and have a nice tempo to tell this story of a woman in peril from her estranged husband. She was spared when she turned to God.
Nicely done.
One spelling correction:
-Witch(Which) only came out
