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.
