'Please Forgive Me'



'Please Forgive Me'


Words Trapped in my mind
A thought that shuts me blind
With my eyes tightly bind
I manage to grasp a memory that for a minute projects an image before my eyes
A memory of you holding me in your arms, your cooling breath against my neck and you whisper; 'I'm sorry I was never there but I'm here now, all I need is for you to forgive me, and we'll work everything out some how'

A kind smile creeps from the corner of my lips
a tear
Drips
Sadness grips
I feel a warm hand brushing against my back
Another hugging my neck
A finger, tracing the outline of my spine
I grasp and slowly open my eyes
They meet yours
I try to push backward
And you pull me back with force
'Let me go'
'No'
I try to set myself free not just from you but from the haunting thought of having to forgive you for the millionth time_for the same thing
It's all become a dismal tune
Meaningless words that you constantly sing
I know I'm in your arms
Why do I feel so alone?
Each day we grow closer
And with every hour of it, my loneliness has grown

A failing shield
A weathering wield

When I needed you to love me back_
You didn't
When I needed you to be there_
You weren't
When you asked for me to forgive you_I did



I thought I'd never get over this_get over you
I thought no matter how much you hurt me
I'd find a reason to still want you
and maybe... Just maybe, you'd find a reason to want me just as badly as I need you to
You give reasons to say I'm sorry_that's all you ever do

I won't find another you
That's not what I plan to do
I'll find someone new
Whose love is real and true
Maybe he'll stand by me
Or maybe he'll take me to his loving heart
Were I wanna be
Were I should be
Maybe he'll give all that you never gave
Say what you never said
Do what who never did

Be who you never were but should've been

I apologize for trusting you
that's the only wrong I've done to you
So for just this once
Please, please forgive me too
