A Letter To Him

You irritate me.
You touched your daughter.
Actually, you touch not just yours,
but God’s!
You sick and twisted man.

You try your hardest to get it in
But she knows better than to let you.
You detest what a father should be
and act like nothing happens after.
All this, you see, will just past away
is what you say.
But no, Memories last through time.
Who could forget what you did?
You sick and twisted man.

But one thing irritates me the most,
how this has affected her soul,
how this affected her outlook on life.
how this has been embedded in her,
making her feel like  a computer with a virus.
You sick and twisted man.

I want to do bad things to you,
like kill you,
or banish you to hell.
But, I have been taught “we also forgive us who sins against us”.
So I forgive you, and love on you as if you are me.
it is written “Love your neighbor as yourself”
and I will.
You lost and forgiven man.

"But, I have been taught “we also forgive us who sins against us”. So I forgive you, and love on you as if you are me. it is written “Love your neighbor as yourself” and I will. You lost and forgiven man." - awesome part in this write. This is amazing poem that could be mistaken as a book almost. That guy sounds gross... but forgiveness is key to a good life in the future. As SKAT A says: good message. Have a good week and will read more of your poems :D ~~~ J.W.M. Earnings
