Oh, Please Forgive Me, Celestine! - Poems

Oh, Please Forgive Me, Celestine!

Celestine!
How precious is the love we share- one of transcendence.
Never could I have conceived that I would one day cheat YOU.
YOUR unconditional forgiveness for my sins leaves me in a world of repentance.
How can you continue to love me, when I have wronged YOU so?

What can YOU see in me, that I cannot see in myself?
I do love you so, more than I may ever comprehend.
So how can my love for YOU, still lead me to deceive YOU and my own self?
Will I ever escape from this eternal abyss?

Am I only resigned to give YOU an imperfect love, while YOU bless me with a perfect one?
YOU, who has sacrificed YOUR life for me, so that I may live in eternal happiness.
Will I ever see the Sun?
Or will my unworthiness shut me out of your eternal Kingdom?

My betrayals have caused you pain.
My selfishness knows no bounds, yet I seek for your redemption.
I know that I cannot live without you, yet I test the love YOU have for me again and again.
My arrogance has led me to mistreat YOUR unconditional love.

Unworthy I may be, please do not forsake me.
For it is my faith in YOU that keeps me alive.
Traversing the muddy waters, have led me to YOU, YOU see?
My detestable sins, have given me knowledge that YOU are LIFE.

For without you, I am merely a walking corpse.
"Your Life Is Worth Living", so I hear,
For YOUR voice lives within me and guides me.
Oh, YOU, who frees me from the shackles that tethers me to feelings of emptiness and fear.

It is only in YOU that I find peace and solace.
Amidst the battles of the world and of the mind, YOU bring me light,
And undeserving of YOUR love, I admit, please give me grace.
For I do not know who I am without YOU.

Oh, have mercy on me, Celestine!
