I was afraid to touch the glass It would undoubtably have left a mark One that had the power and girth To ruin the life I've built on Earth If I forgave myself for peeking inside Would my heart have survived the violent desire Or the pain that my want would have birthed I would have to learn to forgive myself But would God have forgiven me first
Written for a friend who is going through possibly the scariest yet the beautifulest era of her life
