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.
