The Soul's Forgiveness Poem by Randy McClave

I dreamt about you last night
But, this dream of you didn't end in fright,
This dream had a happy forever ending
My soul must finally be mending.
For many years my dreams of you were nightmares
To sleep peacefully I had to say prayers,
At night many times it was hard for me to sleep
Because of those thoughts of you, my soul did keep.
I had remembered all the bad things that you had done
And you did them all in spite and fun,
With your cheating and broken promises and the betrayal
That seemingly sent me to the pits of hell.
I had hated you so very much
I had forgotten all about your kisses and your soft touch,
And I forgot about the times that you said that you loved me
When you made me feel joyous and happy.
But, that was of course was years ago
Where you are now, I don't really know,
But, then you did what you had did
And those awful actions and deeds of yours cannot be hid.
In the book of love I wanted to write us a chapter
Where you and I had a happily ever after,
But, when that chapter was being written
By, the Devil you were then bitten.
You just made me feel used and sick and sad
And then you made me feel hurt and tricked and mad,
Every night that I went to bed you were still in my brain
You were still causing me constant pain.
Last night when I went to bed
There was no hate or sadness and not one spoonful of dread,
And then the dream that I had was positive and true
I guess my soul had finally forgiven you.
