Gracious are you
To mask my shame
Amidst piled-on layers
Of sorrow and pain
Foolish my heart
Not guiltless but vain
Should now burden our love
With cause for my blame
Broken hearted
Forfeited trust
Tainted thoughts
Now cast in disgust
Ashamed of my weakness
And who I've become
Time wasted with sadness
That can't be undone
Grasping at glimpses
For a future to show
With words that you doubt
Deservedly so
Held on my finger
This simple gold band
Now tarnished and scarred
With despair from my hand
Painfully now
I walk through my days
As insecurity and remorse
Seep through my veins
Blind were my eyes
To the precious love you gave
And bestowing upon you now the choice
This beggars heart to save
