Forgive Me
I liked rap music,
but you liked rock.
I was happy,
when you were not.
What you were going through.
Mystery-
The pain you felt, now.
History-
I'll never understand,
so now I say Im…
Time flies.
When you're youthful,
and young.
I’m now wise,
and here are the words
that now fall from my tongue…
Deceit.
You lie and you cheat,
but it's over now right?
Oh wait, okay.
This is me trying to
shift the blame to you.
I… AM…
Waiting-
Waiting, for a sign to say,
I did right.
Right by me, right by you
I …
Remember-
Remember,
when you slammed me against the wall?
Like I was a ragdoll, porcelain.
Mentally confused.
You were hurt but you never said.
Kids exaggerate.
I felt like my life was over.
Well now yours is and I'm older.
I forgave you that same day.
Do you forgive me now that you're away?
-
I have to say
Im… Im sorry
I'm sorry for not,
saying I love you.
I'm sorry for not,
hugging you.
I'm sorry for not,
I'm sorry you,
died with a broken heart.
I'm sorry you,
tried to take your life.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye.
But I'm most sorry that I now cry.
I hope your living luxury.
Prada-
I have to ask
Do you forgive me papa?

This piece is loosely based on my relationship with my Grandfather/Papa. It is based on my relationship with him as kid and how kids see things differently than adults and come up with their own ideas of how a situation happend. Its also about my relationship with him in the now and how his untimely passing scarred me a little. I felt guilty of not being able to say goodbye to him, I felt guilty of not laughing at some of his corny jokes, I felt guilty of not singing or drawing when he asked me to when I didnt want to I would just say "Ill do it later". I felt guilty of not texting him back sometimes or not calling him on a daily basis. I feel guilty of now crying sometimes when I know he wouldnt want that; he is a ball of laughter. Some of the things that are stated are "fictionalized" in the sense that its how a child saw things. In the poem im trying to get the courage to say I am sorry.
