Forgive me

 Oh please forgive me my misgivings

Born of the dirge of flowing air

Where summer had once seemed searing

And where winter lacked a flare.

I come from lands unknown to you

I see what should be hidden

I speak languages you would ache to hear

So please forgive me my misgivings.

I hurt myself and others when

My mind plays tricks on me

I seek absolution by the hour 

And the forgiveness of my misgivings by the minute.

I love like there is no tomorrow

Reality is calming and free

But really my mind gets steeped in sorrow

So please forgive me my misgivings.

I seek succour like I'd imagined I'd give

I ache more than I would like

Vindicated now, rising again

Please forgive me my misgivings.
