I Forgive You

I forgive you
For hating me
I’ve moved on
I can only hope
That you have too.

I forgive you
For yelling at me
I’ve learned
My lesson
Have you?

I forgive you
For hurting me
Even though
I hurt myself
More than you could.

I forgive you
For everything you did
But I
Can never forgive
Myself.

Sometime, someday... you shall forgive yourself

Keep your chin up!!

A friend, like a candle, is most needed in the darkness.

It's the not forgiving yourself that does the damage. Remember there were 2 people.

Very touching poem, I know what it's like to be able to forgive everyone but yourself. Well written.

Thank you all for your comments.

And SharaRose, there were actually four people that I wrote this to. They all betrayed me in the worst way.

I know what it feels like to be betrayed.
I still blame myself for what happened, though most of it is unjustified.
Excellent poem again, and going in my library, again.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
