Pardon Me
In the stillness of the sea, I walk by the shore
Sound of wave comforting, promises more
But water can be unfriendly at the peak the tide
Dusk is impatiently glancing and so I must hide
Alone, I called out your name over and over
My voice pleads of forgiveness to this sinner
With trembling body I flee from the water
It's here, the familiar sound screaming!
Slapped to my face are giant waves of guilt!
Standing still, I hold on to my breathe
I discern another one blow is coming
To sanity I beg to save me from drowning
When darkness engulfed the fading light
Appeared to me are sharp accusing eyes
Memories hanging in the wind began to fall
Stinging, avenging, wanting me to crawl!
Then there was silent in every side of the hill
My lame body quivered, enfolded by the chill
Escape is at hand, I grasped where I stood
Before another wave of remorse gone bold.
From this labyrinth I live I wanted to flee
Set me free, pardon - be unto me.
