seeking atonement

Standing in the shower
Water running down my body
Running down my head
Concealing the tears streaming down my face
How did I get here?
How do I stop this pain?
I broke her heart
Broke my word
Promises to make u happy
Promises that I would never hurt you
But here I am in the shower
Washing away the pieces of my heart down the drain
Can't even stop crying long enough to see past my eyelids
Nothing I ever said will have the same effect
I know this
This is my sentence
I have to live with it
Just hope the words "I'm sorry"
Make it through the walls which confine me
And make it to your heart
I pray you will forgive me one day
