Repentance

So I pray and say god relieve me of this mortal pain
Ease my conscience pangs for those with whom I’ve lain
Their spirits if not their bodies slain
Those loving souls that I’ve ill-used
Promising them my all
Held them in my thrall
Then left them only ashes of my lust
To reward their honesty and trust
I threw their gifts of love in their faces jeering
Considering only my shallow satisfaction sneering
Time has stolen my youthful appeal now at last I feel
For those maidens who thought I was real
This seducer of innocents
Now repents
