Untitled

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
