That week nearly a year ago When we didnt speak Each day Disappointment in your son Took you past the point of tears to Pure avoidance Of eye contact, speech, And everything in between Unable to look at me Without steady streams Cascading down your face I thought i had hurt you beyond forgiveness And that week I learned what it would be like to live without you If only you knew the hurt I went though Having caused pain so deep You couldnt even speek to me Feeling your Forgiveness, your love Was like being pardoned of a life Sentence Like being led to the light Out of darkness Like I was a dehydrated desert wanderer You were my water You quenched my thirst You loved me first And I love you in return
