You may hurt my feelings with your 
words, crushing my spirit with your hate, 
but I will forgive 
 
You can take everything away from me, 
Leaving me with nothing, feeling left out 
And all alone, but then I will forgive. 
 
You may give me pain, covering my righteous 
soul with bruises that are unhealable, scaring 
my heart for life, and yet I will forgive 
 
You can condemn me to the fiery pits of hell 
Itself, roasting my flesh to a crisp, hearing my 
screams for help and doing nothing about it,  
but in the end, I will forgive 
 
As long as there is light at the end of the tunnel, 
A shed of white grass in a pitch-black terrain 
I will forgive 
 
But if you hurt someone I love, even if I should,  
I will not
