Forgiveness

I don’t expect to be forgiven

Oh no, for I have wronged you

To you I have caused dismay

I don’t expect to be forgiven

Because my words cut you deep like a knife

The world is full of pain and strife

We only have one life

Why spend it with someone who harms you?

Someone who causes destruction and chaos everywhere she goes

I don’t expect you to forgive me

Because I spoke with ease

Tearing down your reputation and character

Scrutinising your flaws and imperfections

I don’t expect you to forgive me

Because I haven’t been able to forgive myself
