Tales from the Bartender

Confession

Confession
Broken, destroyed and alone I now lay,
For my mind is filled with guilt from sin unfound,
Daggers of emotions now pierce my soul,

Laughter knows no place in my world of illusions,
Tears roll down my eyes that have lost their glimmer,
Everything that once was is now but a distant memory,

Vigor and vitality drowned in a sea of shame,
I with my unworthy hands have tainted good,
I have condemned myself with words that were sown in ill wrought,

Food and drink have lost all taste for a sinner like me,
Sleepless nights now plague me for my crime haunts me in my sleep,
I no longer deserve to glance at what I have dealt poison to,

What remains of my humanity now begs for but one request,
One thing that could free me from my shackles,
Forgiveness from who I have given nothing but despair,

I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I am less of a man,
I’m sorry that I have given you nothing but grief,
I throw myself at the mercy of your judgment,

I’m sorry,
