Redemption

I know I'm beyond your forgiveness,
I know that I've scarred you.
But, please, at least hear me out,
Listen to what I know is true.

You don't really understand,
I do love you, more than anything.
You're the first to treat me like a person,
And, in return, I destroyed your everything.

I've hurt you more than I'll ever know,
Strangled your heart and broke it, too.
Ripped the wings off the back of my angel,
Shattered the very essence that is you.

But you can't leave me, I need you!
Without you, I'll go even more insane!
You're the one person that I've ever loved,
That can pierce the madness of my brain.

You are the light to my darkness,
The beautiful angel of my life.
Being with you can bring me some peace,
Put at bay all of the pain and strife.

I can never express how sorry I am,
I wish I could take everthing back.
I want to redeem myself in your eyes,
Show you that my soul is not completely black.

I promise you, I swear to you
I'm going to make things right.
I swear that I want to make you happy,
And end, love, your eternal night.
