I Yield

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.
