I Forgive You

You've endured pain
I cannot fathom
Your heart stained
Gut wrenching spasm

For once, I admit
I have no words
Nothing to spit
But useless curd

The anger has oozed
In my direction
I should have snoozed
Gave back affection

These words have meaning
The knife runs deeper
My pride, I'm cleaning
But I'm not a sleeper

Heart on sleeve
Pleading for praise
My fans leave
Self worth is hazed

Obvious, the question
The answer is clear
No need for election
I'll dry your tear

Who am I 
If I can't forgive
If I don't try
Why should I live

God built me better
I'm not here for me
We can do this together
No apologies
