Forgiveness
Forgive me, for I've hurt you
How I've made you cry
It was never my intent
To extinguish your souls light.
My dagger found its mark
Its target swift and true
Forgive me for the beauty
That I stole from you.
Forgive me for the years
That would not let you go
The heart cries many tears
Believe me, I now know.
You show the world bravado
You wear that smile so well
You clothe yourself in silence
Scorned by loves betrayal.
I pray that you find peace,
Gods serenity...I pray that you'll forgive
This foolish heart in me
