I Yield

I Yield

I do...!
    I yield...!
I admit to you openly... 
     my lie I spilled.

I wanted to...too
    knowing that I shouldn't...yet still;
emotionally left stranded...
    so yeah, I yield!

A life-less dance...made
many victims I, per circumstance.
    I blame not one, I've caused my own ills...
    so yes I say finally, "my God I yield"!

My admittances' real... 
    this guilty shame I feel
...you know my heart; 
    so you know it won't kill.

So now here I am, seeking only your face...
     reading of things I heard...being displaced
I fall to my knees pleading my case, 
    for you God have all power and grace.
I just know now what I didn't want to know before.
