You were cradled by arms
That once cradled me
Loved with a love I could not afford
All the love I needed from Him and did not feel
Was provided you as well
Because I could not
What kind of a monster must I be
To look at you through such indifferent eyes
While I lay huddled
Child-like and alone
Cowering before a divine power
I could not control
But could only break against.
You were created to be
Through my evil disregard
Then ceased to be
Sent directly back into His arms
A gift I was not ready
Or meant to have
Like some macabre, overwhelmingly sad gift parcel
Marked 'Return To Sender'
Why not withheld from the start?
Let me be like You
Fully able to forget the mistakes
In light of mercy, though undeserved
Able to love wholly in spite of me
In spite of all that I was
All that I am
All that yet remains in me
