Take Away the Pain
I still remember the nights
Three year back
When you beat her...
And left me father-less.
I hate what you did,
but I can't stay mad for long.
It's not good to hold grudges
I guess I have to move on.
But I will never forget
How selfish you were
To leave us
Abandoned.
Forgiving you is hard.
Harder than some think.
To say it is one thing... but to do it...
Is harder.
One day I'll find it in my heart,
To forgive you,
But will it be now?
I know not.
The pain left in my heart,
The hope of finding a new father,
Was lost,
When you decided to "use your rights".
The only reason I went
To your "house"
Was because you brainwashed me
To believe that you were the good guy.
But when I found out you were not the good guy
And that I had a choice on whether to go or not,
Do you think I would go,
After what you've done?
Being brainwashed for 2 years is...
Too long...
Especially when pain abides
In your heart.
You had me being optimistic,
Hoping for some outcome of your goodness,
But that optimism soon faded away
When the pain got stronger.
The day whe I forgive you
Will be the day
That the pain
Goes away.
