That 1 Poet Poem
In the book of Genesis, God warns of the forbidden fruit
He said if you eat of this fruit you would surely die
Not a physical death, but that of the spiritual kind, which is worse
But we have all eaten of the forbidden fruit, even I gave it a try
That forbidden fruit, sweet to the taste, and soft to the touch
The fact that it's forbidden makes it that much more tempting
But when that serpent rears its ugly head, there's nothing you can do
For he knows just what to say and can be very convincing
Being tempted by the forbidden fruit can lead to much bigger sins
For there's no greater temptation than that of the flesh
Because at some point you have to apologize to the one you betrayed
I apologize to that person, the one who considered me a trusted friend
God says that all sins are forgiven all you have to do is repent
Well, I repent to you now, Lord, for I have betrayed my friend
I was not only tempted by, but ate of this forbidden fruit
By lying down with his wife, I can't believe how far it went
I have no reason for doing what I did, other than just being selfish
I should've been more of a friend when she started crying on my shoulder
Then suddenly, one thing led to another and something happened
I knew I was in trouble when she began to cry and asked me to hold her
I don't know if my friend could ever forgive me but I know God has
I just needed to get this off my chest hoping to release this weight
This is the ultimate betrayal anyone could commit against a friend
That fact that he's like a brother makes the pain that much more great
Your friendship is worth more than that of forbidden fruit
God has forgiven me and I pray he softens your heart to forgive me one day
I hate that I betrayed you for we've been boys for a long time
I'd hate to lose your friendship over this, which would the ultimate price to pay
Find it in your heart to forgive me my friend though I know it won't be easy
And your wife is a good woman so have any hard feelings towards her
She feels just as bad as I do she just needed some1 to talk to and we took it 2 far
I pray we can get past this and things can go back to the way they were

That 1 Poet Poem
Lord I come to you in prayer at this moment
You already know what I need but you need me to ask anyway
So I come to you, I come to you as your willing and humble servant
I'm here to ask you God. Please love me, love me past the pain
The pain of the childhood abuse that I just can't seem to let go of
God please give me the strength to let go and be free
Please soften my heart for the mother who let it happen
Love me past this pain so I can be the man Your Word said I'm supposed to be
For any sin I committed, knowingly or unknowingly, I ask you to forgive me
Forgive me as I ask for help in forgiving those who have sinned against me
Please lift this weight off my heart, O Father God
That will allow me to the Christian man you have called me to be
Father I need help to get rid of this hatred within my soul
For Your Word says to strip off every weight that hinders us
And I realize that I can't do it without you Father
For you are truly the only one that can make me whole
Sometimes I feel that life is too much for me too bear
And I feel as though I'm outta my mind and going insane
But you Father God are always there to let me know that you and you alone
Are the only one that can love me past the pain
Father help me to let go of a childhood lost forever
Help me forget those cries for help that went out in vain
You are the one that can look into my eyes and see the windows to my soul
And I see through teary eyes that only you can love me past the pain
Help me let go of the anger I have for those who turned their backs on me
For I now know that they couldn't help me because they are not you
Please God, help me to be the person you have anointed me to be
I come to you for guidance when I don't know what to do
Your Word says that you will never leave nor forsake me
And that all I have to do is bring my cares and worries to you
So I bring them to you now, help me Father, with this burden
You're the one I come to when I don't know what to do
I thank you Father for listening to my cries
For I know when I pray it's never in vain
I usually don't take the time to thank you
But now I say thank you Father, thank you for loving me past the pain
