Will Never Forgive

Will Never Forgive

You are no longer in my life
Your behavior has caused me too much strife
There was no reason for you to act that way
Sorry you were forced to grow up one day

All I did was try to help you
And your family do what you had to
You made things harder, you were cruel and mean
Like a spoiled little child you caused a terrible scene

You verbally threatened, you used your fist
You created a situation that didn’t have to exist
Then you laughed and told your brother
You no longer have a father or a step-mother

Because you couldn’t have things your way
You hurt us so and made us pay
For a long, long time we were so sad inside
We felt as if a piece of us had died

But time has passed and I am glad
That at least you are now talking to your dad
But you have never taken responsibility
To talk about it or offer an apology

I had been very good to your family and you
There wasn’t anything that I wouldn’t do
But it’s not in my nature to just ignore
A situation that hurt me to my very core

And so I will have to live
Withholding an opportunity to just forgive
Sometimes I think I’m denying myself, letting this go on another day
But then I think, maybe, you couldn't care less about me anyway.
