Forgiveness?

How dare you?

Drink away your family's happiness, 

One day after another?

Don't you feel sick?

Like the butterflies have all died,

And the bad feeling in your gut grow worse?

I will not 

Have mercy. 

I will not stand by as you destroy yourself. 

 

Mother, I love you.

But the time is ticking out on your time too. 

More closer than you think, 

You're gone before you can blink. 

And what will you do?

As your blood turns cold, 

Your body starts to mold. 

I want you to stop, 

You never listen to me though. 

And yet YOU want MY forgiveness? 

My sparing? 

No ma'am

No I can't 

Watch you call yourself ugly, 

And when I say it, 

You say not to. 

Stop being the hyprocrite you are and,

Think of others. 

Of what you'll leave. 

Does matter to you?

Do you even want my forgiveness?
