I Forgive You

I forgive you.

I forgive you for hurting me,
for devaluing the essence of love.
Mostly, I forgive you for giving yourself less credit as a human being.
My sister told me, there must be some ounce of hate towards you,
for what you have caused me.
However the truth is
I have no hate in my heart.
I never did.
I did love you.
I pity you now.
Time is my companion, time has held me.

I hope you learn.
I hope one day,
you feel the blind stab in your heart.
I hope you surrender for love,
As I once did for you.
But then I stop and smile,
I almost forget, that
You don't know how to love how I love.
And the day your heart aches to the point, you rather die
My memory will haunt you.
Then, you will know,
what it is like to bleed for another.


I forgive you.

For losing sight in your words.
Mostly, for being young and naive.
I can not lie, my thoughts blur to the promise of love.
But then, I remember
Nothing is promised.
This is what blinds us all.

I've died because of you
I forgive you.
I opened my eyes, in a new world.
This is where I began again.

And now, you fade from the day to day.
I no longer know your name.
I forgive you.

Always,
Leah
