Forgive

I forgive you

Yet not forget

The bluish hue

With a scarlet

Tinge on my cheek...

 

Your abusive taunts

Endlessly woven lies

Alcoholic brawls

The redness of eyes

Glaring at me

With naked dislike

Of me and my family

And all my tribe...

 

Yet I always pardon

As this is a **** curse

Bestowed upon

Me for using your purse

To meet my needs

How can I forget

Those early deeds

My wants were met

With your toil n sweat...

 

I truly forgive you

As you earned fame

Women too came to woo

Without any **** shame

Threw themselves at you

For wealth and name

Success in your head

Women by your side

Your drinking was raised

As guilt made you hide

Behind the glass and smoke

You made your life a living joke...

 

Forgiving I have to be

For when you compare

Those beauties to met

I am just dumb and fair

With a plain Jane face

And meagre background

Who brings you disgrace

To those who surround

You and your basking glory

Yet I belong to your days of penury...
