MY CONFESSION

I've lived a life of lies 
For such a long time 
Sometimes I made you cry 
So I can be satisfied.
I've caused you sorrows and pain
Yet you were there for me 
You are more than a woman 
And I am half the man 
That I should be.
I held you close in my arms 
And told you how much I care 
But actions speaks louder than words 
And my presence only brought fear.
I am carried away by lust
And driven by deceit 
Although I know it's wrong 
Selfishness caused me to repeat myself.
I have robbed you of your love 
And abuse your trust 
Confession may be good for the soul 
But my heart is still corrupted.
The weight of the word Sorry
Cannot be compared with the plea of guilty 
In the scales of justice 
So I thought it best to confess.
