forgive me for knowing secrets I cannot tell
forgive me for the envy in my heart
forgive me for the greed that seeps in on the seams
forgive me for the pain I always start
forgive me for licking at your deepest wounds
forgive me for knowing too much
forgive me for trying to smoothe your edges
forgive me for wanting to touch
forgive me for regretting your happiness
forgive me for covetting love
forgive me for being too practical
forgive me for what I'm made of
forgive me for not being what you want
forgive me for not knowing why
forgive me for asking for what you cannot give
forgive me the tears that I cry
forgive me my deep disillusionment
forgive me my deep fear of men
forgive me my begging forgiveness
over and over again.
please know in your heart how much I care
please know how sorry I feel
please know I do my best each day
but the truth is all I have to reveal
