Forgive Me...

Help me, I have lost my way, the words are hard to come...
I've wounded  your love, betrayed your trust, I fear I am undone.
Of better times, have I memories, of your arms that held me close...
 Of times without suspicions, they are times I long for most.

A simple man, not much for words, I was tempted I confess...
Blinded by, a moment of lust, I forgot how I was blessed.
There is no mercy to my pain, it eats my heart within...
My greatest fear is not the night, but how to start again.

I talk at night, when I'm alone, so no one can hear me cry...
I hurt so bad, from what I've done, my heart just wants to die.
How could I be, such a fool, are words and breath just wasted...
There is no way, to ease the pain, the hurt that you have tasted.

I am here, afraid to speak, of things I've done so wrong...
Afraid to broach a subject, that could end up with you gone.
My god, what I would give, to turn the hands of time...
And go back to that happy place, to us before my crime.

I stay here now, because I see, that your the only one...
That makes me happy, and loves me still, no matter what I've done.
I hope my love, can somehow heal, the wound within your heart...
And I pray at night, when your asleep, for forgiveness in your heart.

For it would surely kill me, to think your love is dead...
for the angles to come, without your love, is something that I dread.
Should I wake you, and ask forgiveness, would I be asking for too much...
Would your eyes just stare, into my soul, and say I've lost your trust.

I'm asking for your help this night, and hoping that you see...
I love you more than life itself, but words are hard for me.
If I were a poet, with pen of gold, perhaps I'd make you see...
That there is hope, for our sweet love, if you can, forgive,  me.
