Forgive Me

By Herman Sedillo

I gave up trying long ago

This life about dying nice and slow

We all strive forth towards that destination

But when we reach death’s door

There’s a hesitation.

We don’t want to knock or walk through quite yet

There’s things I should have done or did but regret,

I should have given up drugs and maybe stopped drinking.

Did I love from my heart or just selfish thinking

Because then I wouldn’t be in the shoes that I’m in

Living my life just feeding on sin.

I bend at the knees and let out a cry

I am but a young man, Lord don’t let me die.

I’m sorry I never prayed to you

But in life there’s too many things to do.

I should have made time and this I know

I hear the devil laughing

Lord, please don’t let me go.
