Forgiveness

How can I find it within myself To forgive you of such a crime Of abuse, neglect and abandonment For such a long period of time How can I search my soul For the forgiveness you think you deserve When you went over the limit Nothing’s left in the reserve How can I look beyond the hate When I’ve seen what you’re about You’ve destroyed any feelings of hope and change Now all that’s left is doubt Why should I trust my heart When I know it’s all a lie You left me alone in misery And never told me why Forgiveness is a privilege Something you must earn But it seems to me you’ll never get it I guess you’ll never learn How do I forgive when I can’t forget These scars within my mind How can I forgive you for all you’ve done And leave it all behind
