Hard To Forgive

You kill my will, my heart on fire
This treatment I do not desire,
My mind confused and I fell ill,
My heart on fire, you kill my will.
	
Pain and sorrow, I can’t forget,
Though as time moves, you now regret,
You didn’t think of tomorrow ,
I can’t forget ,pain and sorrow.

You hurt greatly, without thinking,
Where were you, when I was sinking,
Now you came back pleading daily,
Without thinking, you hurt greatly .

True forgiveness, it’s hard to give,
Horrors of past , I can’t relive  ,
You gave series of sleeplessness ,
It’s hard to give ,true forgiveness .
