Refusal To Pay
My cries of forgiveness
And painful regret
My sins of the flesh
You could never forget
I begged your forgiveness
For so many years
But the louder my heart shouted
It fell on deaf ears
You fed off my misery
And thirsted for my pain
But I saw in your face
All was in vain
So no more will I suffer,
beg or repent
You sucked my emotions dry
and my patience is spent.
But my resolve is much stronger
And I cast you away
My hurting is over
I no longer shall stay
The price for your forgiveness
I see is my soul
Escape from your torture
Is now my life’s goal
I’m through with your lies
And belittling ways
I choose a new life
And I choose not to pay
