Mercy

How can I not hold blame 
in part for the situation you ended up in?
In reality, 
You were accused, you denied, 
and then were left to live with the consequences of protecting us both
I was partly the cause
How can I not be somewhat to blame?
I feel guilt
You feel shame
We both need to embrace healing 
We both need to forgive and find mercy
And then we will both find peace
