to grace your heart
is what I would do
for my mistakes
that I have lived through
for being stuborn
and all so afraid
of what loving you
could mean to me this day.
of holding on
to what we could mean
of a house and children
those that we see
of stupid ideals
that I thought we should have
those that tear us
and could not take back.
it is this I say
to your heart now hurt
from my mistakes
that I seem to never learn
that I am me
though not complete
without your love
it is hard for me to see.
so I will do I must
to get back to you
and gain your trust
I shall sleep on floors
that are paved in pain
and do all those small things
to begin your love to gain.
and though you hate
and so you should
I shall endvour to work
at all of these things
and if one day
you should finnally kiss
me heart will burst
for I know this
that we are one
and that is the truth.
the heavens sent you
for my sins I have done
and those that cause you pain
for I am now in hell
and all I can say
is that I love you
and will do what it takes
to keep us as one.
