God Forgive Me
God forgive me for what it is
I felt the need to do.
Pretending all was well was wrong,
And so I did unglue.
God forgive me for everything
I felt the need to say.
Speaking my mind has been real hard
Even just for a day.
God forgive me for what I've done
That came across as mean.
I didn't want to do those things;
On that I wasn't keen.
God forgive me for any pain
I needed to dish out.
The last thing on my mind was hate,
Not what this was about.
God forgive me for the heartache
I know I have caused here.
It's so hard to hurt the person
That you have held so dear.
God forgive me for selfishness
That has come to me now.
To take what's mine is difficult;
It would not be allowed.
God forgive me for impatience
That I've had with those tears.
But tears are something I'm done with
And have been done for years.
God forgive me, I'm so sorry
For dumping this on you.
But I needed to rid myself
Of guilt that I feel, too.
