Looking at my life
I’ve taken you for granted
Examining all the love an
All the seeds you’ve planted
Selfishly I’ve taken from you
All you’ve had to give
And given none of myself
Kind of like a sieve
Your tenderness and joy
I gobble greedily
Reveling in your kindness
I’ve no humility
“Sorry” doesn’t cut it
“Forgive me” seems trite
“I love you” is a given
But doesn’t have much bite
My eyes have fluttered open
No longer do I cringe
Change I am embracing
No further on the fringe
My heart is brimming over
My eyes are seeking yours
My ears are fully open
I’ve unlocked all my doors
No more stuck in sorrow
Or hindered by the pain
Unburdened by the hopeless
I’ve got too much to gain
Bring me close and hole me
I finally am free
My heart is yours forever
Until eternity
