Tanya Wilkerson Poet Ballad

With My Heart I Forgive

With My Hear I Forgive

 Buried deep inside of me is a burning desire for you,
 A memory embedded there that I know to be true.
 Through the softest whisper I've been told that you apologize,
 For all the pain and agony, for all the deceit and all the lies.
 I tossed and turnin', having inner battles with my soul,
 Do I allow love to stay or leave, have I lost all control.
 I'd be lying to myself to say I hate you,
 Maybe at this time is was meant for me not to relate to you.
 Even so I encourage you to breathe to live,
 And know that With My Heart I Forgive.
 I ask of you for the same forgiveness in return,
 We can count this as a lesson in life and love that we had to learn.
 The tears burn my soft gentle skin,
 The beauty's gone, I face the ugly within.
 Where there use to be you and me is now a fading memory,
 I don't want to believe that this is how things are to be.
 But what is, is. And I will forever never be the same, 
 Oneday, someday I won't hold you to blame.
 Even so I encourage you to breathe to live,
 And know that With My Heart I Forgive.
