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.
