Forgive Me...

What I needed from my father

I'm sorry for all the times I violated you

I was selfish and I didn't need to

I shouldn't have hurt you so

I tried but my sickness wouldn't go

You screamed from the pain

What was in it I had to gain

Just for me and hurting your soul

My satisfaction was my only goal

I ripped you like nothing

You should have been everything

To me you were an object no more

I didn't even care if you were sore

I took a very valuable part of you

You screamed and cried until you were blue

I wish I could take it back now 

I just don't know how

Sorry I am for destroying your happiness too

My punishment is small compared to your virtue

I can't say "sorry" enough

Writing this is so tough

[Hi]

Sometimes it is very beneficial and empowering to know what forgiveness actually looks like even if we don't get the apology. It says that we know what right and wrong is despite what we have been through. Thanks for sharing.

This is a extremely courageous piece, wow.
Some don't get that as time heals wounds, words can help heal memories.
"Words" being shared on platforms like this, in fact, is how I started to share with others...
...because someone accidentally found something I wrote and it helped them,
so someone else may need these potent words.
Thanks for sharing
