Forgiveness

A child mind that is lost in yesterday

The past seems to be behind every future door

A yearning to go to school and come home emotionally fine

As my weak got weaker

The anger just got more painful

Hope seemed so shattered

Now thinking about it, I forgot it comes down to forgiveness

I held the letter in my trembling hands

Pages of my anguished heart barely hopeful of you coming back to my life

My best friend called and told me everything

The conversation seemed so scattered, how could this happen

You walked away and found a cheap replacement to my love

My confidence got smaller

You built a bridge back to the emotions I had coming home from school

The thoughts do not keep me warm in the coldness of reality

And I’m thinking about forgiveness

Even though you won’t love me anymore

Coming home to an empty house after work

The stress of life has me down

When my hatred seems to get deeper

Revenge allowed my happiness to be broken

Yet, I turned life around with forgiveness
