The hardest thing to give is forgiveness;
it goes against anger's impulsiveness.
And because emotions control our thoughts;
feelings are ready to fill in the dots.
Your heart won't abandon love for regret,
and given enough time, it will forget.
Yet, it is more difficult to forgive
a sin strained through an emotional sieve.
The urge to strike out and send the hurt back,
can make you want to go on the attack.
And when love asks, you forgive, love asks much;
yet you must admit, you will miss his touch.
Burnt in anger's flame, the phoenix of hope
rises from the ash so lovers can cope.
And forgiveness often approaches you;
in the guise of memories shared by two.
You let yourself overlook any wrong;
and encourage your heart to get along.
For coming to grips with the fact love lies;
the impulse to never forgive subsides.
