I cannot forgive
Forgive you, for what?
Where were you?
“I love you…you’re beautiful…you’re smart”
Words never heard
Forgive you, oh no!
Tainting our futures because you lacked
Putting him first and us last
Your selfish ways, forgive I think not
You wonder why I look at you with hate
I cannot forgive
And will never forget
Is it my words that hurt?
But these words don’t lie
I cannot forgive, I won’t forgive
For what?
Where were you?
To read to me…
Love me…
Encourage me…
Forgive and forget, I think not!
