The hardest thing to give is forgiveness,
it goes against anger's impulsiveness.
Because emotions tend to control thoughts,
and anger is primed 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 to forgive, love asks much,
yet you must admit, you would miss his touch.
Emerging from flames, the phoenix of hope
softens emotions so lovers can cope.
And forgiveness often approaches you
in the guise of memories shared by two.
You persuade yourself to forgive the wrong,
and encourage your heart to get along.
For, you're convinced you'll feel better inside
soon as your primal impulses subside.
