Forgiveness

There is no turning back,

You said all that you did

And you said all that you hid

Before, and there is no turning back.

Often, when Mother spanked me

Or someone dear was very harsh

I have forgiven them completely

And made sure my love does last.

I thought you loved me truly,

At least that is what you said

And may be you do,

Or may be you dont

But I'm hurt

And I'm smarting

And like I've forgiven all my loved ones

And shown them only love

I'll do the same with you.

I'll let it go.

But I'll never forget

That you are no better

Than all the others

I love truly

And may be that's a good thing.
