Forgive You

To forgive you certainly feels like treason,
I have a duty to my heart and for good reason.

You hurt me more than you could have imagined,
You after all caused a beautiful distraction.

I was jade,
And my love soon faded.

When your love turned to hate,
I all to soon witnessed my grimsly fate. 

Awoken by pain,
You could have at least been humane.

Blood covered the floor, 
Me tortured with all the gore,
I screamed "I thought it was I you adored!"

No I was thrown away,
because I could not obey,
you always assumed foul play,
and kept your love for me at bay.

So please see forgiveness is not easy,
the thought of it make me quite queasy.

For now i am content,
I gave my 100% with the changes I under went,
which have been a reluctant event.

It may not be today,
you could meet me halfway.

The road of forgiveness is tough,
but it will come soon enough.

Just you wait and see,
it will take time for forgiveness to match that degree.

With a little compassion and understanding,
you will see it is not justice I am commanding.
