Robert Stevens Poet Lyric

Stained

Alone here in the night.
So many memories come out to play.
There's those that I hold near.
Other's I can't seem to wash away.
I tell you the devil like this game.
When I don't want to play.
I'm sorry for the hurt I have caused you.
This is all I have to say...

I know that I'm stained.
With the inperfections in my life.
An easy admissiojn to my guilt.
When I know I haven't done things right.
Yet I'm no longer ashamed.
 For I know that I'm stained.

Left to my own devices,
I changed the perfect world which we had known.
Living on such a high.
To crumble right down to this low.
I know in my heart I love you.
As I feel it there everyday.
Without you, my life has become unglued.
Please understand these words I say.

 Stained is the skin  I live in everyday.
With time it will not fade.
Like a child it's the sandbox where I play.
I'm fine with living my  life stained.

I know that I'm stained.
With the inperfections in my life.
An easy admission to my guilt.
When I know I haven't done things right.
I'm  no longer ashamed.
Now I Can easily see now that I'm stained.

Sena Slaughter January 8, 2010 at 9:34 AM Everyone at some point and time has been stained. That is a truth that cannot be denied. But there is something more, forgiveness, you can forgive yourself and others should also forgive you. But first and foremost is to forgive yourself. Remember this, there is nobody walking around today who hasn't wronged somebody in some way!
