I am Undone

I am Undone

A Poem by Tim Lawless

All I can offer You is my life.

I have little else to give and even that is tarnished beyond measure.

I will say I love You with blasphemy fresh on my lips,

And claim to live for You while moving closer to dying for myself.

 

I can honestly say that through no work of my own,

I am Yours.

And I can honestly say that through workks all my own,

I shouldn't be.

 

I'll never understand grace.

All I know is that it makes life so unfair.

I thank you immensely,

For not giving me what I deserve.

"All I can offer You is my life.
I have little else to give and even that is tarnished beyond measure.
I will say I love You with blasphemy fresh on my lips,"

Those three lines, are my favorite of anything of yours that I have read thus far.
