Forgiveness

With your words and deeds

You have inflicted

My heart with a pain

Which will not leave

In all the world

You were the one

That was suppose to love me,

Without condition, without fail

I have searched over the years

Wondering why you have treated me

Worse than any stranger

Instead of one of your own

Since you forsook me

For your own petty desires

Where else was I to turn

To fill the need of my soul

In all my attempts

To rid myself of this pain

I have created a wound

Far greater then the one you gave me.

I have hated you so long

For what you have done to me

That there is nothing left

But the anger in my thoughts

As I turn to ask you why

I see clearly that your selfish desire

Was to quite the pain in your own heart,

To find the love you never had.

It has not taken away the pain

But it has rid me of the anger

For you are not an enemy

But a kindred in the pain.

I pray to God now

That He may fill the hole in your heart

With the love you never felt

As He has done for me.
