I Forgive You

Last night as I slept I dreamt of you
Still you haunt me
Three years have now gone past
Still you haunt me

I thought I’d moved on, believed I was free
Yet here you are
Still you haunt me
I have a family now, a husband and child
But there’s a pain in my heart so raw and strong
Still you haunt me

The beatings, the bruises, the drugs, and affairs
Still you haunt me
I’ve tried to move on I’ve said my goodbyes
Still you haunt me

So I’ve decided to forgive you
To truly let go
Tonight when I sleep I will finely find peace
I will hate you no more
You will no longer haunt me.

*dedicated to my x-husband
