Trying To Forgive
The past few days have been okay,
However, I anxiously await the day,
That the other shoe will inevitably drop.
That your love for me will eventually stop.
You tell me I am silly, yet I sometimes smother,
I wonder if that is the reason your heart found another.
You tell me it was a gigantic mistake,
Yet it was my heart that you were to break.
You say you love me and that you did not cheat,
Yet, your love and affection were indiscrete.
You may not have shared your body with her,
Yet, betrayal by you most certainly did occur.
I am trying daily to forgive,
Yet, the heartbreak I somehow relive.
I do not want you or I to be lonely,
Is it too much to ask to be your one & only?
I love you with all my heart,
Though not the case at our start.
You slowly chipped away at my walls,
Until I heard all your heartfelt calls.
Please just give me some time,
To try to get over your shocking crime.
I am trying to see all this through
As I am still genuinely in love with you!
