somewhere between now and then
i learned how to trust you again
you don't deserve my forgiveness
but i read somewhere that you need to
forgive
just not forget
because the pain i was in
could never disappear underneath your tiny pencil eraser
those marks are permanent stains
against my skin
bleeding through to the other side
somewhere between now and then
i learned to love myself again
despite the pain
you put inside of me,
still festering within

-i'll say it's ok even if it's not
