2007 Hear my confession
lips form the words
"I'm sorry"
again and again
An endless prayer
said in a whisper
born of a sigh
voiced in my dreams
of you
Awake
stare into your
eyes of northern ice-
Don't cry
Don't look away
Alive
down on my kness
No longer loved
but still forgiven
And you'll smile
on me
another day
and warm me
like the sun
another time
you'll forgive me
when I fail again
But every day
I'm a little less
worthy
when you smile
on me
it burns
Self-loathing
pounding through
my heart
my veins
Kill this
wretched whore
who doesn't deserve
to kiss your feet
but you know
forgivness is
punishment enough
Forgiveness
and a life
that lives
and breathes
regret
Inhale the shame
and my lungs
are caving
I'll never
forgive
myself
