I forgive you

lost-but-not-broken17

Your wicked tongue,
It speeks much evil.

Your pallid face,
You give no hope,
No strength,
Your weakness collides.

You're nothing but a liar,
A dirty-mouth,
And a show-off.

You give no support,
But pride.
Your mercy goes to you only,
Which shows your hate.

Hate is what you get back,
After the back-stabs,
And the tortures you gave.

Now no one cares of your fate,
Your trifling,
Even if you die,
You are now spoken by bane words.

But yet I forgive your lies,
And your back-stabs that hurt.

I forgive your derisiveness,
Your barbarous,
And yet your treachery...
I forgive you.

For that is what God would do.

    Inside you are a very big hearted person. Forgiving is blessed, unselfish and unburdening of the soul.

  • FredPeyer

    I can literally feel the pain woven throughout the lines and stanzas. Very emotional poem with a glorious ending. Kill em with kindness!
    Judging from your writing, you are on the road to recovery, bravo, and keep on moving to a much brighter future.

  • Fay Slimm.

    Your final line lends wisdom to forgiveness dear poet friend. A verse which honestly faces sad facts yet ends with remembering that God forgives those who know no better. A fine conclusion to use against hurt.

    Good write, trust and respect once broken are difficult to get back.
