Dear Mah by James Allen (2011)
Dear Mah,
You know, all the things you did
Or that you didn’t do
And said
Or didn’t say
Are over now,
And whats done is done
So you know that,
I have forgiven you
And it’s just about time
To forgive your self
I wish I could pull these magic words
Out of somewhere
Hell anywhere,
But I don’t know what it is
That you need to hear
Maybe it’s that
Derek and I
We still love you
Maybe it’s that
You don’t need money
To be a good parent
Or maybe it’s that
No one is judging you anymore
for what had happened in the past
Just maybe it’s that those scars in your arms
From years of collapsed veins
Might go away
One day,
If you learn to forgive your self
And I’d love to tell you
That memories of time in a cell
Will just disapear
But they stay locked
In the prison within your mind
Maybe I need to tell you
That I’m a writer because of you
And I thank you
And I thank god
For the gift that the two of you have given me
Maybe it might not be any of these things
But really who knows
Except for you that is
And all I really want to tell you
Is whatever it is
You need to hear
