Treachery

I remember tears streaming down your face.
When I fled, without any trace.
You wanted me back, I remember your shout,
All I know, my sins made me shameful and I couldn't open my mouth.

I know you're angry, me wrong,
To pass this by, I always sing a song.
And I was so scared to face my fears,
Because nobody told me, that you'd be here.

I want to hug you, to kiss you,
Like Shylock, you must do me sue.
For I wasn't able to keep my promise,
I'd want to remove bitterness, by some licorice.

I'm sorry, for everything I've done,
Left you alone when we should have had fun.
Forgive me if possible, I loved you always,
For you, I'll always let my hands raise.
