Confession

Forgive me Father for I have sinned…
And my soul doesn’t hope for salvation
(For I certainly heard as the Devil grinned)
And in the pits of hell I’ll face my damnation

But Father what have I done?
I have failed Her and now I weep;
I’ve been away for far too long
And Her integrity I could not keep

The shade of fear on a burning cross;
How may I redeem the unbearable loss,
Of a sobbing child filled with grief,
Delivered in a world that's full of mischief?

I’ll stand by Her side and forever remain;
Though She does not listen nor wishes to see
That running away from merciless pain
Will not save Her as it didn’t save me…
