Empty Home

Forgive me I pray, I cannot stay In this world which made me stray Thank my words for they were true I meant it pure when I said I love you Keep from me what you stole Ripped out my heart and incaged my soul Hold them close around your neck Do not hate what you can't take back For you were true and cut me slack But alas, I fear the worst People believe in bad things first Yes you had shown me what good felt like Though I know I cannot keep you It feels so right to believe in all good you do If I stay alive in my autopilot mind I will cause my brain to grind I can taste a hint of gore While my head rots to the core Wishing you'd knock at my door Praying one day you could see How much your presence meant to me
