it was selfish....

Contributed by eternityandaday4u on Saturday, 29th January 2011 @ 02:19:10 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



It was selfish of me to expect you to comfort me when i cried. Forgive me i was only 3.
It was selfish of me to expect things from you. Forgive me i was only 6.
It was selfish of me to expect you to stay in my life. Forgive me i was only 9.
It was selfish of me to expect you to come back. Forgive me i was only 12.
It was selfish of me to cry because i knew you were never coming back! Forgive me i was only 15
It was selfish of me to expect you to understand why i was so angry at you! Forgive me i was only 18.
It was selfish of me to move on with my life knowing that you would never truly comprehend the extent of my pain. Forgive but i was only your daughter.
A long time ago maybe a part of me believed you when you called me selfish and when you said that i took your life from you but i am 24 years old now and i understand that it was selfish of you! you took something from me and that is a mother! where were you when i needed you?
where were you when i wanted you?
where were you when i loved you?
i wanted to believe you were good. i still want to believe it. i want to believe that you left not for your own selfish reasons but i don't know if i can honestly convince myself of that. I forgive you though because if i didn't then i would live with resentment and because i allowed myself to maybe for a second put myself in your shoes i do forgive you!
I forgive you because if i don't then i will just be a bitter person all my life and i can't deal with that.
I forgive you and i hope that one day you can truly forgive yourself for what you did to us...
