I Failed
What have I done…
There’s blood on my hands
All those years all this wrong
I have hated and lied, cheated and hurt
My brothers and sisters friends, lover and strangers
It on my hands, their blood
Not physical blood, spiritual blood
I have wronged so many people, destroyed so many lives
I prayed for free will to be removed that I may stay true to God
I failed…
Failed him and made his Son’s death in vein
I prayed for things I should not have…
Everything has not gone the way it should have
When I was young I saw myself on his lap
Felt his warm hug and heard his gentle voice
You are my good Son.
I failed him too…
Now all I can hear is what have you done
I see me in front of Him waiting
I hear all those I have erred screaming
And I know I have done wrong
I am not only going to pay for it in this life
But the next
Forgive me…
For I have failed…
