I Have Changed

If you could see me now
Lay your eyes upon my face
If I could only show you how
My lifestyle has changed its pace

I am no longer that way
The forceful, regrettable me
I find it difficult for me to say
That it was wrong for me to flee

I take back all that I said
I know it's impossible for you to be glad
Those times where your blood was shed
It was never your fault, don't feel bad

Meet your eyes with mine
The hatred in my heart has lept
Your face continues to shine
I'll understand if you do not accept

For I have changed for the better
Although my actions cannot be forgiven
I leave my final word to you in this letter
My life will be over, once I cut this ribbon
