Heart of Darkness

Can you fix me?

Can you tell me that this will be alright?

Can you mend every broken heart and stitch my soul back together?

 

I've been told that you could.

Though I admit I'm reluctant to believe,

I've done so much wrong,

And so little right, it seems.

 

All I could ask is that you give me the strength,

To right the wrongs I've done and rewrite my past.

I'd tell my parents that I love them, and mean it this time.

I'd work a little harder to fix it up with me and her.

Maybe if I could go back, I could fix it all.

Maybe I could change the future.

Maybe I wouldn't shed these tears because I know it must be coming.

 

Father, Oh God, Father of mine,

I've done so much in such short time.

I can't comprehend grace, but I'm begging for yours,

Because without it, I am darkness, nothing more.

 

Oh my God, I swear my heart is yours,

I'm begging you to take it from me.

Nothing I've tried on my own

Has ever gotten me anywhere,

 

Except farther from you,

And farther from everyone I know.

This is beautiful... sad and melancholy, but prefect in the same sense.

"Oh my God, I swear my heart is yours,
I'm begging you to take it from me.
Nothing I've tried on my own
Has ever gotten me anywhere,

Except farther from you,
And farther from everyone I know."

These last lines to me are the strongest, and I wish I had more answers or anything to say to comfort you.
