I cry silent tears
In this prison without bars or stone
For guilt has sentenced me to life
For sins I cannot atone

The love I hold for her is true
As her love she holds for me
But I have done her many an injustice
I am blind to each evil deed

She may say that it is alright
And everything is good
But I can tell she hates me
For not loving like I should

I slowly suffer my punishment
This dark and lonely jail
I have only sinned against her love
Hurting her without fail

I do not wish to see her cry
Or see her angered expression
For what I did without knowledge
Oh lord I wish for redemption

Oh guilt and sorrow my lowly jailers
Please give me my parole
I see the error of my ways
Don't let heartache take its toll

Let me go, to return to her
I promise to be good
To love and cherish her always
Like any lover should

I did not mean to hurt her so
Or to even make her cry
Please let her love me again
For without her I fear I'd die

Staring into the abyss
Hoping her wounds may heal
And praying she may one day see
The guilt and sorrow that I feel

So here I sit, cold and alone
In these solitary confines
I sit and pray for her forgiveness
Now all I have is time

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

Unfortunately no one teaches us how we should love, we have to try to figure it out for ourselves.  But time heals and a good heart will show forgiveness.  This was such a wonderful outpouring of your emotions to the one you love.  I hope you are able to show it to her.  Take care......Sue
