You chose to love me inspite of my pain
You chose to forgive me again and again
The decision was yours to aid in my survival
You volunteered a lifetime and committed to my revival.
You baptized me with promises to always be faithful
You sacrificed your world for me ad I am eternally grateful
My pain has brought you much misery and my pain has been your strife
At times I feel you regret ever knowing me and that you wished you would have just moved on with your life
For loving me is hard and sometimes it feels so wrong
For loving me has been tedious yet you try so hard to be strong
There were times I cut you deep and I left you there to bleed
Yet you've struggled to maint
ain and prayed that God would intercede
You held on by your teeth as you were dangling by a prayer
My life has been your struggle and to trust me is a dare
What can I say or do when "I'm sorry" has no value or my apologies no validity
When my peace offerings are rejected and in my humbleness you don't see my humility
I love you more than life itself but in proving it somehow I failed
So I'm asking God to allow you a chance to give you my heart and I hope that ship has not sailed
