Absence

A cycle of promises broken Just like the children You never took the time to see All the damage you did And it was all effortless You are so full of exuses And now as the years have passed You say you have found God You call to say how sorry you are And how you wished you could change the way you lived your life If only words could erase all the hurt But that is not the way it seems to work I am sorry that you are feeling so guilty Convenience doesn't convince me I am certain God forgives you But do not look to me for sympathy
