I am too weak to see this fully through.
The consequences made me lose all sight.
I tried to do what in my heart was right.
But failed to realize I’m hurting you.
I shut myself away from all you do.
I hid away but could still feel your might.
The tension grew inside me ever tight,
With no relief except a sinful few.
My heart is hardened and I’m cold inside.
I’d ask for help, but won’t because of pride.
I lay awake and can’t go into sleep.
I am so numb that my eyes cannot weep.
Forgive me if I don’t want to give in.
I like my coldness, bitterness, and sin.
