Forgive Me

Forgive me for I have sinned.
An angel came, I broke her wings.
I called to her, I reeled her in.
I knew just how to pull her strings.

Chastise me because I've been bad.
I tried for bliss but made her sad.
For all the good that she once had.
I took it all and drove her mad.

Punish me for I've been selfish.
A suspicious mind I took from Elvis.
I lack all trust, I can't help it.
Unboxing her love so I can shelf it.

Rebuke me for I am heartless.
I took the light and gave her darkness.
I switch from steady to disastrous.
We both stand close but I'm the farthest.

Reprove me for I am depraved.
I broke her will, had her enslaved.
Denied mistakes that I had made.
The purest love I betrayed.

Berate me for I have no shame.
I pass her by and shift the blame.
I'm far too gone, I can't change.
I made her play my losing game.

Forgive me...
