Forgiveness

Our attempt was good, but not good enough,

Maybe it was my doing, maybe it was yours:

Maybe, just maybe we are both at fault.


Our mistakes were big but bearable,

Our bond was hard but worth it:

Maybe in my eyes, maybe not in yours.


Your decisions may not have been yours,

Your actions may have been influenced by something else:

Or maybe I didn’t do good; maybe, just maybe.


Oh how much of a fool I am,

To trust you, to believe in you, to have me live your lie:

You set a trap for me, and I fell right in.


But what is done is done, whatever happened happened,

We can only move on, we can’t look back:

But just because we cant look back doesn’t mean we can’t forgive.


After everything that happened, after all the hurt,

After all the struggle and after all pain:

I forgive you.


My empty shell has been filled with something more,

My torn wings have been sewn back together:

And all that was broken has been restored.


Now after all our foolishness, what say you?

Will you forever live without forgiveness?

Or will you forgive too?
