49: MERCY'S FREE

                   

All the talk that we've heard,

An encouraging word.

And the time that we wait,

Turns out we're too late.

I spent all last night,

With a fifth of booze,

It's what I've got to loose.

 

How my sordid past,

Roars in my ears.

How long can I last,

Harboring these fears?

I just want to say,

His mercy is free.

Oh please, please forgive me.
