Forgiveness

I wanted you to suffer.
To pay for stealing her away from us.
Hate for you filled me.
Fueled by pain 
It took over.
Tainting every memory.
Hatred made me blind.
Blind to your guilt,
To your suffering.
I think about her and miss her.
You wake up every morning,
Knowing,
One drunk mistake,
Killed your friend.
