The Plight

Please come back to me
My nights are quiet and lonely
Come back and you'll see
I'm redefined I'm homely

My past are now behind me
Truly I've made a switch
Maturity has finally refined me
Experience truly teach

I know it's hard to believe me
It's even harder for you
To simply forget and forgive me
After all I put you through

But please come back to me
Let's heal ourselves again
The power lies here within
Somewhere in our mortal frame

That night you packed and left
Something inside me died
Hence I have hardly slept
More than the twinkle of an eye

The weight of guilt is heavy
It's too much for me to bear
I stagger like a drunk unsteady
Convulsing in my fears

I have seen horrible days
I have seen them through and through
But nothing compares to the pains
Of spending a day without you

You mean more than you can imagine
To me you are simply divine
A gift sent down from heaven
To beautify a man

And for once I was that man
Who benefited from your light
And now I think I understand
How best to play it right

Never again will lust motivate me
Never will I give in to the flesh
You have every right to hate me
But you can choose to do something else

Like remembering everything we shared
Everything we've said and done
The command to forgive all who err
Before the risen sun is gone

I completely accept my foolishness
Don't let your love grow cold
In the face of difficulty and stress
That's when our love should grow bold

Please come back to me
Let's again in sweet rhythm flow
Unveil that magic smile again
And kindle this fading glow
