"Forgiveness is for anyone who gives up hope for a better past." -Buddy Wakefield
.
I'll never be able to undo the damage others already did her
I got here as soon as I could
I missed reliving her dead ends
through with one way streets
been trying to hold her
like an apologetic prayer
for a better past
smooth talked re-enacting
rough treatment at least
she know now my hands
soft enough that I won't
make it any worse
that is mercy
she is poetry
and I am late
I've been holding her
desperate as the promise
you know you can't keep
some people out there know
what my real name is now
what I tried to do to help
why I can't stay
she won't forgive me
any less than she'll understand
my reasons for leaving
I got here
I got to her
soon as I could
am leaving now
and it's already
a little later than I should.
