Willing To Forgive

              As your heart breaks:

        his fake facade crumbles to dust.

   Yet, you're willing to forgive his mistakes,

        and reestablish trust.

  Awash with emotional tides and acid tears:

  time's passage has dissolved your doubts and calmed your fears. 

    And you recall the happy years:

  determined to salvage love, whatever it takes.
