Cut Ties

You lied
	many times
didn’t say why
told me every fault
	called hurtful names
became normal
forgetting self value
no direction
only yours.
you scarred
	many ways
for no reason
made it your life’s work
	to make it hurt
now you search
	the adult runaway
better sometimes
	to cut ties
than to feel like you died.
	Sunrise to sunset
just so you receive
	all you can get
you said
	I’d never amount
run back to you eventually
	having no sense
	wait, hope or pray…
planned against that day
grown up since then
harm me effects you
	in the end.
so let go
	follow my lead
I’m happy with me.
Forgiven 
	All awash
too much time has been lost
	living is on my mind
Love has returned
painful ties
	are my last concern.

A perfect poem of forgiveness. This, for me, struck a personal chord, because I have had to force myself to forgive others many times, and forgiveness starts with the pain and ends in love. If you can forgive unconditionally, you can love unconditionally...Sara:)
