Ghost God of the dying promise,
Distant tyrant:
Take this my body that is broken by you
and forgive me trespass into shadows of doubt.

Would that me like ". . . me’ trespass. . . " as spoken by an old Irish actor? Or like ". . . forgive me, trespass. . . " Sorry, I am not tracking this right.
Forgive me like grant me, or allow me. it’s an archaic usage but, I was trying to channel a little King James.
Forgive me” is a plea for forgiveness of the whole self, acknowledging personal responsibility or guilt.
“Forgive my” is a request for forgiveness focused on a specific action or fault.
Thank you, it makes perfect sense. And in that vein, it works well. I did a college history paper entitled “James I and the Divine Right of Kings”. But I didn’t use the vernacular. 
Being Irish, and aware that in the fairly recent past some of us used me for my,
it reads awkward.
Stark poem by me old friend, Marc… actually, that’s something I’d occasionally say in conversation. It’s a nod to being Irish… don’t know if that makes sense.
