Resentment

I try to run from it or hide,
But I harbor deep seeded pain inside,
Resentment is its name, I’ve tried…
But this feeling stays the same,
I’ve cried,
And shed so many tears,
Through the years, I’ve lied,
How the hurt affects my pride,
And the fears won’t subside,
That I’ll never see,
Who I want to be,
Because this hurt in me, won’t die.

I can’t stop it even if I wanted to,
I can’t forgive you,
For the pain you put me through,
I can’t forget what you regret,
The mistakes you made,
and price that you paid,
Is not enough, not yet.

Its too late now, we can’t turn back time,
What was once your choices now affect mine,
You’ve built mountains from hills,
That I now have to climb,
And from now on until that day comes when I find,
It in my heart not to blame you anymore for the crime,
I’ll bring you a handful of dirt from that mountain up high,
And throw a rose overtop when I say… goodbye.
