some semblance of love

life outside the figurative darkness
that I've lived in for so long
is something I know longer know
the warmth of that woman's touch 
I no longer feel
I guess I got know one to blame but me 
my mind wrapped around concerns 
that never used to amount to much
the what if's
the why didn't I see
was it all me
I'm sitting alone with the feelings of being 
under the magnification of the looking glass 
where everyone can see my faults but me
it's very hard to quantify what it's cost 
I keep adding up the good compared to my sins 
and coming up shy every single time
if it was all so wrong 
why am I still in some semblance of love

Adding Up The Good

I tend to use the new math in my comparative characteristics. 2 Good deeds cancel out entirely one sin. One sincere prayer equals forgiveness for seven sins. It's tipping the scales in my favor, I know, but remember I believe in heaven and redemption. forgiveness and resurrection. Or I believe in self-delusion which works just as well if cynicism is the equivalent of the God concept. - I'm Jus' Sayin' ~ Lady A
