Poetry: Questions

by Kelly Ismail

I know that you are out there and can hear what I am saying

I know that you are out there and can feel what I'm conveying

I know that you are out there and I think that you should know

I hope there is some peace for you wherever you now call home

I don't think things ended for you the way you had hoped

I don't think you realize all the pain you caused when you chose the road you chose

The problem is the road you decided that you should take

Led you straight to my front door

The pain you caused lives on forever more

I have learned to let the anger go and forgiveness is my friend

How hard that was to give to you after the way things all ended

If you are listening now, I wonder if you've found peace

I have never meant ill will towards you

You have suffered enough indeed

I have only one question, I will never know the why

Did you ever really love me

Or was that another lie
