Please Forgive Me

Flipping back the pages of my time
I realised I messed up some times
Given a stage in a dance hall 
But kicked myself hard in the balls 
Wrecked in the shame of my fall
A loved one I can no longer call
I'm sorry for  the truth untold 
And for the lies that bursted in the cold
The lust that maimed me I allowed 
An own goal that should be disallowed 
The man in me drained and left me in hallows 

It wasn't a game I wanted to play 
Was a trade I thought we would gain
Faced with a scene that was insane 
Ought to be a night of solace 
But ended up a slap on your face
I know this apology is long delayed
I just hope it's never too late
I cant stand the shame I brought to your space
I apologise for  the shame I caused 
For the pain rather than love
Heartbreak and the rude shock
It wasn't what it's worth 


Wishing I can do this in person 
But can't stand the judgement of treason
I goofed, and I had no reason for that 
No matter how long I freeze my woes within
My apology won't have  the best of season.
I regret my actions and inactions 
And I hope you heal and forgive me 
I'm sorry please 
Wasn't my intent to cause you hurt
