Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a hard thing,
For me to give to you,
Especially when you consider,
What you put me throughΓÇª

I wish I could forget,
My days of childhood,
I tried many times before,
But I never couldΓÇª

You were always gone,
You never seemed to be there,
You did your own thing,
As if you didn't even care...

What kind of a father,
Instills his children with fear,
To where they back away,
Every time he comes near...

ItΓÇÖs the kind of father,
Exactly like you,
ItΓÇÖs the kind of father,
Who has not got a clue...

If it came down to it in the end,
And you had to choose
Would it be your daughters over habit,
Or would the drugs cloud your views?

You treated my mother poorly,
You treated my sisters like dirt,
So now I think itΓÇÖs your turn to suffer,
The pain and the hurtΓÇª

We donΓÇÖt love you any longer,
YouΓÇÖve filled our hearts with hate,
A feeling of such displeasure,
Of which you could never relate...

Do you realize all the pain youΓÇÖve caused,
Or do you only think you do?
Either way pay close attention,
Because what IΓÇÖm saying is trueΓÇª

Your daughters are growing,
TheyΓÇÖre getting smarter each day,
But theyΓÇÖll never find the answer,
To why you treated them that wayΓÇª

They know who you are,
And why you werenΓÇÖt there,
They know where you are now,
But they honestly don't care...

Why donΓÇÖt they care?
ItΓÇÖs all because of you,
They donΓÇÖt care for your problems,
Or the things that you do...

YouΓÇÖre the one,
Who made life this way,
I hope guilt kills you inside,
When you regret it somedayΓÇª
