A Letter to you Sir

To you sir I give my apology for misleading you on believing that I am the one for you
To you I give a thousand thanks for being gentle, kind, and merciful
Knowing that I am the one who has lead you to your death
To you I shed tears of agony and pain
For you deserve to be treated like a hero for saving my life
To you sir I pray the Lord will heal your heart
And help you to see things more clearly
To give you the wisdom of not being hurt again by a woman like myself
To you sir, I will bring the wings of freedom
That you have given me as a gift and return them to you
To you sir, I will write a poem to let the world know
That love as gentle and kind as yours is still alive
But it's too late for me I have been slaughtered
On the altar of betrayal and love
For life enjoyment I have been betrayed
From the one who's supposed to honor me for life
I have been sold dear sir without even a value
To the first person who was willing to touch me
And have sex with me
To you sir, I bow down for coming to rescue me
And helping me to stand up and give me the courage to leave my shame behind
To you sir, I owe my life but my soul has been broken
And shattered to millions of pieces
Sir please forgive me I thought I could be free
I owe a big debt to you, but I found out its too late
The vows that I took with him for better or worse
Has taken all the good that was inside of me
I have been left just like a skeleton naked stripped away even from my dignity
I could not tell you sir if I am dead or a life
Sir you have tried to give me a new start
You believed in me when no one did and here I am
Failing you just as bad as I have failed my self
I must return to the person who dishonored me
There's no hope for me all I could do is no good
All I could feel is nothing all that I am is broken goods
So thank you sir for trying to bring me from the dark into the light
For trying to show me that I am human I should have never been betrayed and sold
Thank you sir for believing that I am good and my sins will be forgiven
Thank you for loving me the way you did and honoring me
I am sorry in return I have shattered your heart
And given you back your wings broken
Maybe this will teach you the biggest lesson of your life
A woman like me couldn't be fixed when she's broken
