You say you forgive me

I sometimes can't stand the audacity of people, who think that when they forgive someone it wipes the slate clean.

You say you forgive me

Because it’s the Christian thing to do.

Yet, I wonder how I can forgive myself,

For even loving you.

 

You betrayed me with your lies,

You hurt me until I cried

My tears brought you twisted joy

As they traveled from my eyes.

 

My tears flowed like a river

Faithfully down my face

My mind often wonders

How do I deal with loves

Fall from grace.

 

You say you forgive me

The hurt and the pain I’ve caused you.

I’m sorry I can’t say the same,

Because I will never forgive you.

  

You say that you forgive me.

a heartfelt poem, a lot of hurt and pain, it starts to flow and then kinda breaks. i wonder if the pain was both ways? but not the forgiveness?
interesting, and intense.....

"How do I deal with loves
Fall from grace."

That is a question that I have often asked myself. I still havent found the answer...When you do promise me you will share that knowledge with me. I love the animosity weaved through out the poem. Guess where this one is going... : )

This is line should be structured "You are such a fake". It doesn't seem to go well to the piece. It almost cheapens it. I like this piece because your almost saying the title sarcastically. I love that. Forgive me for what? The pain that YOU caused? The hurt that YOU caused?

Well done!
