Forgive Me

We were together all of these years, but you did not seem
To understand why I would throw it all away just like that.
Through our conversation that night you did not redeem
Or own up to your mistakes. I would never hurt or flatten
You on purpose because as cruel and as harsh as the world
Is, I would never do that. The truth never came through.
The words of I loved you and I cared about you, all curled
Around your tongue, but it is too late because I gave you
Every chance to say them when we had everything. The one
Person who had such a huge role and part in my life turned
The other way when things got tough. There is no point to run
Away when you will not stop me. In the end you got burned
Because you lost me, the person who may have just become
Your biggest heartbreak and biggest lesson in life. Never give
In to doubt or external forces. Never give in to what might numb
The internal feelings. Find it in your heart to learn and forgive.
