Wretched

Wretched creature that I am

Guided by emotions which deceive and enslave

Pure, organic desires turned dark and twisted

Remorse is a long lost friend

One who haunts and lingers when my desires run rampant

 I have distanced myself

He would not recognize me anymore

Ignoring his guilt, shame

I cover myself with my own remedy

One which heals at night, but diminishes at dawn

For what sin can light not hide?

Wretched creature that I am

Have I forgotten that the dawn reaches every crevice and crack in my soul?

Every unspoken word, silent thought

Oh, how I have missed you remorse!

But Please do not come alone, my soul is spacious

Bring conviction and change of heart

A heart which proclaims repentance

Beats of  forgiveness

Wretched creature that I am who can save?

But You Mighty one,

You exchange my wretchedness for worth

Oh, how have I found favor in the eyes of the one who made the skies?!

 how I love grace.

Grace to save the wretch like me.
