The Treacherous Heart

O Dearest One, Please Forgive These hands ... Once traced your most innermost person These vile hands! Have exploited you, tearing to pieces that trusting heart. O Beloved One, Please Forgive These eyes ... Which discovered each buried desire These wicked eyes! Now blind to you, outstretching for help. O Darling One, Please Forgive These ears ... In which you entrusted such vulnerable secrets These hateful ears! Now deaf to your anguished cries. O Precious One, Please Forgive This heart ... Upon which you rested your own weary heart This evil, treacherous heart! Now poisoned by these sins against you. O, My Only Love, Forgive Me! For I have wronged you in the worst way.
