Poetry: Worlds away

Forgiveness alludes me

from wounds of long ago.

Like angry waves of hurt

It tosses me to and fro.

My heart was broken,

Our family torn apart.

I just can't find the place

Where forgiveness can start.

My heart was open

On our son's wedding day.

I would see you with her

And the pain might go away.

But you were a coward,

And would not show your face.

Gone was willingness to forgive;

Bitterness had taken it's place.

Of all my life's trials,

Forgiving you is the one

that's ever out of reach

I just can't get it done.
