Sorry & Sorrow

people are foolish,
and so am I
my actions were selfish
and I got the share of mine
my share of punishment

say you can’t see a scar
I tell you my mates
it wasn’t corporal
it’s my heart what truly aches
in the depths of my chest

for I did the worst
I made Her cry
and it wasn’t the first
I don’t want to lie
I don’t deserve forgiveness

but oh my good Lady
you’re the sun and moon of my sky
I need to see you daily
or else I might die
of pure loneliness

and there’s love down the streets
if I can’t have you by me
carve out my eyes and deafen my ears
so I don’t have to hear or see
may it ease the pain of losing you.
