Forgiveness

I had life I was forced to choose Choose the high road Choose the low Low I became instead of up always Low looking up Up where only someone else could take me ME...ME...ME...ME...ME...ME ME was all I could think about About the ruin and wreckage About a life I could have changed Changed with only a thought Changed with an unselfish being Being there alone and lost Being too selfish to see See how I had gone down under See how I hurt you You who never deserved it You whose love I cherished Cherished more than you know Cherished more than you believe Believe in me What a joke Believe in who I was once Once was there love between us Once when I wanted to end it all All that was pursuing me All there to push me over Over the edge of death Over the cliff of disaster Disaster paid for by blood Disaster to be saved by love Love lost and found Love only to be restrained Restrained from showing itself Restrained from our poor eyes Eyes that would always search Eyes that would cry so many tears Tears born of pain Tears of pain born of obsession Obsession to choose the world Obsession to choose what could not be Be there always in memories Be there only in a life of love Love which is greater than life Love that was won in forgiveness Forgiveness on that Cross Forgiveness by Christ CHRIST CROSS
