Forgiveness

You hit me too soon and too hard
While bruises were healing
You caught me off guard

 

How can I look you in the eye?
This blow to my heart
Is making me cry

 

I dare not to show you my tears
Rejection from you
Was the worst of my fears

 

I watch you two hug as you part
I think of the words
That you stabbed in my heart

 

And I scream silent questions to fate
Why's the guy that I love, love the girl that I hate?

 

She ripped me, she spit a my soul
Challenged my being
Buried me whole

 

And yet why have feelings for him?
He lied to and left me
And threw me in sin

 

Though even through anger I think
Why suffer the taste 
Of this bitter drink

 

Forgiveness is waiting for them and for me
It loosens my burdens
And sets my soul free
