Reaching out
If I reached out to take your hand
would you meet me in return
Or turn away in sorrow
as if my touch had burned
I dont know how to reach you
so many times ive tried
Only to fill with sorrow
the many tears ive cried
In the past I took a selfish stand
the path I took was wrong
Many roads I traveled
tho I did not belong
I did not see you standing there
reaching out to me
Waiting for an answer
that would set you free
I did not see the pain and sorrow
brought about by me
All im asking now
is to find it in your heart
To forgvive me for the past
and help me with a start
