From Deep Within

I Forgive You

I forgive you, though it was tough

To let go of that hurtful stuff.

Our hearts were once two halves of a whole

But now you've shattered my very soul.

I forgive you for the words you said,

That hurt me deeply and left me in dread.

I choose to forget and move ahead,

And leave the past where it now should rest.

With tears streaming down my face

I couldn't help but feel so misplaced.

But holding onto anger and pain

Would only leave me drained.

I forgive you for the times you failed,

And the promises you never fulfilled.

My faith in you may have been frail,

But I now find peace and let my heart be stilled.

I hold no grudges, no bitterness,

For I refuse to let hate take its caress.

I forgive you, and I set myself free,

And find true happiness and tranquility.

In this moment of sweet release,

I can now find my inner peace.

I forgive you, I truly do

And I hope you can forgive me too.

So let us bury our conflicts and strife,

And begin anew with love and life.

I forgive you, and I hope you can see,

That forgiveness brings joy and sets us free.
