ANNIVERSARY
It's the anniversary of your
death
So many memories came flooding back to me
As once again I
realized that no matter how much time has passed
I shall never be fully
free
My mind starts to wander and I remember so many years ago
On our Day
of Atonement looking intensely at your face
Searching it deeply for
signs of sorrow or regret
But no, there was no sign of remorse...not a
trace
And I remember once again the guilt I felt
As I bowed my head and
asked for forgiveness overwhelmed by my shame
I don't know why it took
so many years for me to realize
G-d had forgiven me long ago...for you
were the one to blame
In His compassionate mercy He understood
I was an unprotected child
who lived with so much fear
And now each time the rain gently
falls
I look at the Heavens and realize He is crying silent tears
Yes it's the anniversary of your death
What has G-d done with
you
You never asked my forgiveness
And if you had...I don't know
what I would do
To the world you appeared so religious and yet I knew the truth
You
were a hypocrite who broke the Commandments without a thought
You put
on "Holier Than Thou" airs
And cared not for the pain that you wrought
So it's another unhappy anniversary
Not because your dead
But only
because of the memories
And the words you never said
