Pay the extra amount,
Forgive the extra wrong.
I’ll let you know
I’m here for you.
You may hurt my feelings,
Push me away with hatred and insults.
I will give you space,
But I will not leave
Out of reach.
You may harm me,
Push me, curse me,
Cut and bruise me.
I will protect myself
By giving space,
But I will not run.
I will stay here,
Where you know you can reach me,
Battered, bruised, crying and praying,
Forgiving you and caring for you.
Just in case
You ever do need me.
I’m here for you.
Why?
Only one Person was here for me,
When I hurt Him so.
I finally collapsed,
And He came,
Battered and bruised, crying and praying,
To save my life.
