“Forgive Me”

Forgive me, Father,


for I have sinned.
I’ve run away from mother,
for when will I finally be ringed?

Starting anew feels like lemonade


on a warm summer day.
Sour and sweet do not separate
in my measures of betray.

C’est la vie as the French would say.


I have not lived at all!
Staying would have me decay.
“I deserve this freedom”, I bawl.

A journey to find a significant other


Father, guide this 32 year old, kindly.
Keep my deranged mother safe, bless her.
I hope ‘he’ loves me irrevocably.

I pray for a man committed only to me.


He does not have to be wealthy
but should be capable to a fair degree.
One day, if mother finds me, I hope he does not flee.

For now, Father, I will persevere


to regain control of this life.
My mind is at a state of war.
In these desperate means of being a wife.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.


Why have I left Mother all alone?
What I have done leaves me chagrined.
But I needed to leave the comforts and that prison of a home.
