Forgiven
Sometimes I wonder if I really did cause it all.
If it was such a simple mistake no one caught it.
As I stood, watching them fall,
Watching as they struggled to admit, to quit.
Could I have stopped it all with one word.
Begging for them to stop what they did, for us.
Soon everything would be so blurred,
No one could care to less to even guess.
Intervention.
Police Men.
New Family.
Adoption?
Why?
A simple statement with so much raw emotion.
When?
Time expands, no big commotion.
Where?
Home. Sweet. Home.
How?
Secrets flown from room to room.
It was such a simple mistake.
Not noticing all the signs around.
At such a young age, it could have been anyone's to make.
Till the people involved we called out.
Twice but never again.
She will never walk that line.
Hearts wrapped tight with coiled chains.
No excuses for any demise.
I forgive but I'll never forget.
The memories of a child are hard to reset.
Time will only tell if you have truly stopped.
Or if that addiction was just swapped.
A pain no pill can ever unchain.
The memories of years locked up in vain.
They want to come out, useless I know,
To try to cure the fate I must go.
Silenced forever is what it should say.
When they place that tombstone on top her grave.
And if she leaves this world before them,
She wants them to know forgiveness she gives.
Don't cry for her now,
She's gone to where she wanted to be.
Placed by her side her grandmother stands.
As she walks through the light holding her hand.
