A Selfish Thing

A Selfish Thing Oh dear God please help me I don’t know what to do The one I pledged to love through life Has turned out to be untrue. Please help me through this pain I don’t think I can do it alone Could you maybe soften the blow? The pain is more than I've ever known I don’t know how it happened He swore his love so true He’d love me through eternity Lord I did not have a clue I still can hear his footsteps As they slowly faded away The sound forever in my mind I will hear them every day I don’t think I can go on The pain is too much too bear I feel I’d almost rather die Then the pain would not be there So I am asking for help dear Lord And I am down on bended knee I know it is a selfish thing But I am asking just for me Connie Moore 12/31/13
