01010: Tender Mercies

I can see it in your eyes. You've given up on me. Don't give up on me completely though. Be tender with me for I am abused. Perhaps I abuse myself as well. As I flee, I forget why, so I return to you confused. Show me mercy, please. I am a lost soul, I don't understand anything anymore. Through your tender mercies I will know your love. If you need me as much as I need you, I am real. You must understand that the truth is never kind but at least it is pure. I must have your understanding. It is hard to sleep at night but your words make the air soft on my lips. I can almost taste you. Please don't let me hurt myself anymore. I know I ask alot when I ask for mercy. You give me more than I deserve. Just tell me that I've changed, and give me tender mercies.
