A relationship where one partner is particularly troubled and prone to disappointing the other. Forgiveness being their keystone for lasting love.

I’ve failed you More than once Should I continue to disappoint I surely won’t be the one you anoint Your annoyance escalates to anger Failing to change I risk being a stranger I feel your heat on the morrow And return in kind with such sorrow Can you forgive, again, and again And forever A higher love nestled in your grace Yet of it, I see no trace Forgiveness is the fount of your stunning allure Your compassion exceeds any love I’ve known before Because of it, we survive Coexisting, your anger and your love Having purity exceeding that of the white dove Your warmth is getting hot
