Forgiveness From Within

Dear Me,
Yes, I'm talking to you.  
It's fine to admit you've made
more mistakes than few.

Could you help that this man who calls you his wife,
lied to you constantly, as he's lied to himself all his life?
How could you know what wasn't shown,
You aren't at fault, how could you have known?

So cunning was he, didn't stop to think,
that someday his lies would be revealed.
Lies don't for long stay concealed,
and his showed themselves with glaring clarity.

You're not sinless, you're not Snow White,
But you were honest, and it's all right.
How could you have known the things
you know today?
If he'd have told you all his secrets,
he knew you wouldn't stay.

Now that you know, the ugly truth has come to light,
you have but two choices to make, and you know which is right.
Hey, Me, you can do this.
You have walked through hell before, my dear,
and you can walk through it again without fear.

Dear Me, forgive yourself for being so blind.
Instead of being so hard on yourself,
try to be more kind.
Although it's said that love is blind,
it's only as blind as what the other allows to be seen.

Dear Me, dry your tears, he isn't worth the pain.
You'll rise above this, and be soaring once again.
Forgive yourself, that's the first step to take,
Un-forgiveness of self is an awful mistake to make.

Dear Me, allow yourself some time to heal,
and if Fate is kind, you'll find,
someone who is honest and real.
Someone who might say, "be mine".
