That's Harsh Truth
Believe me, I never wanted to show my weakness,
but tears didn't hear my plea, failed to check, it poured ceaseless;
Severe impact of lost love drifted me endlessly,
reminded how I was treated by my destiny;
Accepted much emotional abuses in life;
thought those miserable days would pass with no more strife.
How I will know, after seven years you'd return to
my shattered life to seek forgiveness out of the blue;
Know well, forgiving you would bring peace of mind, will free
my mind from corrosive anger for ruining me.
But, how can I forget those days when you left without
even informing me; your acts caused me to blackout;
what's more painful to me was abandoned with feeling
not worth of explanation; my heart is still bleeding.
As you asked to forgive, recalled golden years of youth
tears flowed, as I can't forgive you from heart, that's harsh truth.
