A Selfish Thing

A Selfish Thing

Oh dear God please help me
I don’t know what to do
The one I pledged to love through life
Has turned out to be untrue.

 Please help me through this pain
I don’t think I can do it alone
Could you maybe soften the blow?
The pain is more than I've ever known

I don’t know how it happened
He swore his love so true
He’d love me through eternity
Lord I did not have a clue

I still can hear his footsteps
As they slowly faded away
The sound forever in my mind
I will hear them every day

I don’t think I can go on
The pain is too much too bear
I feel I’d almost rather die
Then the pain would not be there

So I am asking for help dear Lord
And I am down on bended knee
 I know it is a selfish thing
But I am asking just for me
