Four/IV/4

Four times I told you to stop it

Four times I asked for more

Four times I said sorry, and

Four times I said please

 

Four times I begged

Four times I said “Shut Up!”

Four times I repeated, and

Four times I cleaned bed

 

Four times I soaped up

Four times I made coffee

Four times I helped your son, and

Four times I was left alone

 

Four times I hurt myself

Four times I asked for forgiveness

Four times I went naked, and

Four times I prayed to the Lord
