Forgive me for the choices I make

Let me confess
it's not easy for me to say:
I'm sorry..... please
forgive me

so let me try again:
I'm sorry
please forgive me for the choices I made
in the present absence of yesterdays

oh! let me try one last time to say:
I'm sorry please forgive me for choices I have made
I'm sorry I'm so sorry as sorry is such a hard thing to say
so let me raise this reservoir of frozen tears above my head
as i kneel before the alter I once altered

so I'm sorry- please forgive me!
for all the wrong choices I once made.
