unconditional



he offered me his smile
and I wiped it from his face
my words so sharp
they cut deep into his skin

he offered me his hand
and I pushed it away
refusing even to touch
that small thing that holds my heart

he offered me his words
and I turned a deafened ear
not wanting to listen
to that voice that sings my soul

he offered me his heart
and I ripped it from his chest
throwing it to the floor
to lie among the toys

and still he offered me his love
with arms so tight around my neck
and tears that shed forgiveness
reminding me it was unconditional

And by and by my Soul returned to me, And answered "I Myself amd Heav'n and Hell"

from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam as translated by Edward Fitzgerald

Re: unconditional


I'm going to guess this is about someone else you love, Sam? i think that kids give there parents what no one else can, unconditional love, no matter what the parent does or says the child will always defend them forgive them and love them. Beautiful poem luc as always, can see that your a great dad, you recognise when you have treated him wrong and you appreciate his love.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Your not my god,
your not my friend,
your not the ones that i will walk with in the end,
Your not the truth,
your a temporary shot,
and you Ruin peoples' lives and you don't give a second thought
