Forgive Me

I watched you as you climbed the hill, Carrying that cross on your back; Through it all, I suffered with you, Watching your gray sky turn black Bravely, you struggled to the top, Not once did you look toward me; I cried 'Please, let me help you, love, ' But you just ignored my plea That cross - your conscience in turmoil, And you, dear soldier, battle-scarred; You never faltered..... no retreat..... Your breaking heart lost not a shard Then you managed a tortured smile..... You can't hide behind that screen; Onlookers mourned, their heads bent low, Yet to me, the cause still unseen Why do you suffer, why this pain, How was this candle of torment lit? I climbed the hill.... then I saw the cross..... My name was written all over it Forgive me for the pain I've caused, That was never my intent; I believed I was fulfilling dreams.....
