Forgive
Me
by
Jessica Caldwell
Yes I lied.
Thought I could protect you
from the truth.
Deliver you from evil, spare
your innocene and youth.
That I could simply will it,
was the real untruth.
I was wrong.
Wore a mask to cover my deceit.
But underneath it all, I couldn't
keep away my doubts.
Now I'm left without a mask,
and one question left to ask.
I'm sorry, please help me,
forgive me.
Don't hate me, don't leave
me, forgive me.
Forgive me my debt, as only
you could.
Forgive me the hate, replace
evil with good.
Forgive me and you'll find
that you, will be able to forgive yourself too.
My dear Solan.
I never told you that you
were my son.
I didn't know the days we
had left were so few.
If I'd only knew, I'd a been
with you.
I'm so sorry, I couldn't be
the mother you deserved.
And I regret that I missed
your first step, your first word, that I never heard.
Now it seems absurd.
Can you forgive me?
Open up your heart and let
me in.
No matter if the faith against
us turns, there's one thing through all of this I've learned.
That what I need from you
is to:
Forgive me, I'm sorry, believe
me.
Stop hating, stop hurting,
forgive me.
Forgive those who harm you,
do good for those who hate.
Forgive if not forget, I know
it's not too late.
Forgive me and you'll discover
too, that the love of your love is you.
---In
memory of Solan. And don't worry, I'm sure he went to the Elysian Fields.
His
death was indeed avenged in the episode: A Family Affair.
