Does Anybody Forgive Twice

Everybody disregards completely human compassion in these times: there's no room for kindness; does anybody forgive twice? Their feelings aren't rivers that flow wildly and freely: they are the thickest ice! Does anybody forgive twice? No, nobody forgives twice and admits that's pride! Is it once enough to make amends and still, think we can be friends? I don't count on your forgiveness, your look can tell that you don't have tenderness... that glow of sweetness! I can make a better person of you, it can change your perception of me; I don't have to prove that I am a mirror of faithfulness... your suspicions are false and keep me from touching you and calling you, " My Sweetest. " When I long for comfort in my dire loneliness, you'll throw me back into Hell; starting over is simply childish: wouldn't it be so foolish? Does anybody forgive twice? I am too tired of climbing walls and falling down; I can't find words that rhyme perfectly and write you a song of redemption: what's the use of begging and not being forgiven? I should listen to my inner voice and find a better woman and go on! Does anybody forgive twice? Isn't there more bitterness and anger in people's hearts than the willingness to forgive?
