Forgiven...

Forgiven...

A Poem by Tori Jones

You said you loved me
So why did you leave
You said you'd always
Be there for me
Now that you're gone
I finally see
The reason you loved me
Was so you could have 
Advantage over me
And leave me empty
Alone in my grief
For you never really cared
You just wanted me to be
Caught in the illusion 
That you truly loved me
Why did you do it dad
Why did you leave me
Why did you beat me
And stop caring for me
Well, none of that matters to me anymore
For I now have friends
And feel a love I have never felt before
They've helped me to see 
That I truly am
A life worth saving
And have taken hold of my hand
To lead me down the right path
The path of love and forgiveness 
So dad I have just one last thing to say
Even though you weren't nice to me
I want you to know that you are forgiven 
And that I think of you every day
Wishing we were closer
And wanting to say
I love you and miss you
And will forever be
Your daughter
I hope that someday you will see
That I always loved you
Bye dad...
I hope to see your heart someday
Be not bad
But good
For you are forgiven...

Thank you...
there are some questions that just don't really have answers, and if they do come, those answers, they often don't make much sense...and sometimes life doesn't make sense either...

people just take us aback with their behavior and often we see no reason for what they do.
